BBC Food & Farming Awards

We have just been nominated for this years BBC Food & Farming Awards by our Local Environmental Health, I'm not sure as to which category but i will keep you all informed.
I must say we are really thrilled to bits , not only to have all our hard work recognised, but to be put forward by our Local Authority who have worked with us for the past 4 years and obviously recognise the effort we have put into our Pie's and our Cheese over this time.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Heather Kendal, Amy Mcgarry and David Bacon (EHO Officers) for there help and support during this time.

Regards

David.

Cheesemaker Scratter

We would like to let all our customers know that Cheesemaker Scratter won us the Championship for best milk from individual cow at this year's Great Yorkshire Show.
Our other cow's won us second and third for whole milk and unpasturised milk.
Scratter is now in calf again to the bull 'Ruffian' which is an Ayrshire.
Scratter is one of our tamest cow's and loves treats such as our own home baked bread and sweets.

Robyn

Update on Calderdale Cheese

Hi there from David & Robyn, just a note to let you all know that the cheese is selling very well from Halifax to as far afield as Settle North yorks to York and the East coast.
We have been experimenting with some fruit adding it at the salting stage of the procces, Cranberries, Pineapple & Mango, also Black Cracked Pepper we will have a few months before we will know if it has turned out ok but there is no reason why it should'nt
We have also been sending samples of our Calderdale's Smokey Joe out to existing Customers to gauge there oppinion of the cheese so far it has been posative.

Regards

David.
