Who we are
About the farm
We farm at Woodbridge Farm in Stock Gaylard near Sturminster Newton in Dorset, home to the Davies family for over 50 years. On the 580-acre (about 235 ha) Stock Estate we keep 270 Holstein Friesian dairy cows, calving all year round, and grow 140 acres of corn and 100 acres of maize each year. On the farm we turn our milk into Dorset Blue Vinny, the blue cheese Michael Davies revived from an old recipe in the early 1980s, of which we are the only (PGI-protected) producer; we also make chutneys, sweet pickled cucumbers and seasonal soups by hand. Our fresh pasteurised milk and products are available from the milk and product vending machines on the farm every day from early until late, and we also sell our cheese in our online shop.

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.
