APRIL MEETING REPORT 2017
Did you know that there's no need to go to Cheddar, Cheshire or Wensleydale to sample British cheeses? In fact you can find an example practically on your doorstep at Whitegate Farm, Creeting St Mary, Suffolk. This is the home of Suffolk Farmhouse Cheeses and it was the farm's joint owner, Mr Jason Salisbury, who came to talk to us at our April meeting.

We were therefore invited to tell the stories that lay behind them. Read More...
