Sustainable tourism - We would thoroughly recommend this activity , this is clearly a farming family who are immensely proud of their heritage and traditional product and so they should be.It was a great balance of farming facts , animal interaction and practical cheese making activity - with the option to buy your own produced artisan cheese ( once cured) shipped out .finished off with a lovely homemade lunch . Tourism needs to keep supporting small businesss like this. 10/10

Lovely farm and great experience! - Beautiful farm with lovely hosts. The small cheese making experience was great. We made our own personalized cheese that we can receive by mail at the later date. Kids had a wonderful time feeding the cows, petting animals and also making cheese. Our guide Ivan was very friendly and was great with the kids. We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone who wants a unique experience on the island. The cheese tasting at the end was also a nice touch!

Brilliant! - Absolutely fabulous time! We booked as a family for my mum for part of her birthday weekend! The cheese making experience and farm tour were so personal, interesting and an English translation was provided which was excellent. The tasting was excellent, and certainly made us want to buy cheese in the shop afterwards! It was made clear to us in the cheese making portion that an extra charge would be required for the personalised cheese, and we decided to make my mum a personalised cheese! However at check out we all forgot this which means we didn’t pay for it or leave an address for delivery! I would really like to pay now and receive the cheese in a few weeks! Please get in contact so we can do this!!

Fantastic experience - A fantastic experience! We really enjoyed the cheese making and then the tour of the farm afterwards. Ashley was a great, informative tour guide for us and at the end we tasted some homemade cheeses and other goodies. Highly recommend this tour for adults and children. I can't wait for our personalised cheese to make it home to us in 8 weeks!

Very enjoyable activity - Fun experience learning about cheese-making. Ashley and the other people were great, explained things well. Light lunch with different cheeses and cured meats was served up on a hill under shady trees with a beautiful view of the countryside below. Very enjoyable. My only suggestion would be a little less info about the cows because I already know about them, but for those with children that part would be fun, too.

Fun new experience - Fun new experience learning how cheese is made and trying our hands at it. Also got to feed the cows their hay and feed the 2 and 4 month old calves their formula. Note to Americans: the cheese you make will NOT be shipped to you due to cost and logistics.
