First local food & drink producers site tour – The Torpenhow Cheese Company – Tuesday 13th September from 10.30am to 3pm.

The Torpenhow Cheese Company was formed at Park House Farm near the village of Torpenhow (pronounced ‘Tra-pen-ner’) on the edge of the Northern Fells in Cumbria. Established in 2019, they turn the rich free range milk from their Jersey/Friesian herd, into creamy deep flavoured cheese.

The day will consist of an introduction to Mark & Jenny’s journey through Organic conversion on their dairy farm in the Northern fells and the process to being 100% pasture fed followed by a tour of the cheese making area or a short video of the process before visiting the cheese stores (dependent on numbers).

Tea & coffee will be available throughout the day with a Ploughmans lunch provided by the venue.

Following lunch, please bring along suitable footwear and clothing for a tour of the farm, hopefully a walk to see the herd in the paddock and potentially a woodland walk to visit the pigs (if they are within walking distance). We’ll then finish with refreshments and a chance to network further back at the farm.

With a limited number of places, don’t miss out. This is just the first tour with more in planning for later in the year.
