Who we are
About the farm
On our family farm at Newsham near Thirsk, in the Vale of York in North Yorkshire, we have been making artisan cheese for over 35 years; our mum, Judy Bell, started the business in the late 1980s, and we, Katie and Caroline, have run it since 2012. Our team handcrafts our award-winning blue cheeses every day from local cow's, sheep and water buffalo milk (with organic milk from Acorn Organic Dairy for our Organic Yorkshire Blue) – among them Yorkshire Blue, Harrogate Blue and the sheep milk Mrs Bell's Blue – as well as soft white cheeses and a sheep milk salad cheese. We sell our cheeses through our online shop with delivery across the UK and the Isle of Man, and they are stocked by retailers and restaurants across the country.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
