We focus on regenerative farming to produce artisanal farmstead cheese from a pasture-fed Jersey herd

Dalewood Fromage is an artisanal farmstead operation that produces cheese from 100% Jersey milk from its own stud registered herd of Jersey cows! No artificial fertilizers, insecticides or weed-killers are used in our pastures, and Dalewood cows are never given hormones to increase growth or milk production, and also don’t receive unnecessary antibiotics. Our online shop, Kaas Club, is a destinati

on cheese, dairy and cheese accessory outlet, stocking a range of speciality knives, bakers, boards, crackers, and preserves (link in bio)

The Dalewood Cheesery Shop on the farm stocks Dalewood's cheeses and an assortment of cheese knives, rustic cheese boards, jams and preserves. The Cheesery Shop is open during the week from Monday to Friday from 09:00 - 16:00 and on Saturdays (November to April only) from 10:00 - 15:00. The Cheesery Shop is closed on Sundays, Public Holidays and Easter Weekend.

Dalewood’s regenerative farming practices take a holistic approach that puts soil health and ecosystem function at the centre 🌱

Regenerative farming is the future of food production because it not only looks to stop damaging our ecosystem, but to restore life in the soil. A healthy ecosystem means nutrient dense foods, more sustainable and resilient farming practices as well as increased carbon locked down in the soil!

Regenerative farming is all about building a healthy soil biome. A healthy soil means that our food products are more nutrient and mineral rich. It also helps to create a more resilient agricultural system that works with nature not against it.

A healthy soil also promotes eco-system function and biodiversity 🌱

Our milk is available from the Cheesery Shop on the farm. Come and stock up 🥛

Check dish and if satisfied, mix the tomato and cheese together evenly 10. Add pasta and combine all together 11. Garnish with lots of whole basil leaves Enjoy!
