Family owned and run, this artisan cheese factory in the lush pastures of the Tweed Valley works hand-in-hand with their very own herd of grass-fed dairy cows to produce fresh cheeses and yoghurts along with delicious gelato flavours, handcrafted using farm-fresh milk and local fruits.
Located on the Tweed Valley Way near Burringbar, the on-farm outlet is also located close to the Northern Rivers Rail Trail, so you can stop by to refresh your palate along the pedal.
If you’ve worked up more of a hunger, stop for fresh morning tea scones, a light lunch or tasty antipasto platter, all prepared fresh on-site at the licensed Veranda Cafe, overlooking green pastures and grazing dairy cows.
Be sure to leave room for some farm-fresh dairy gelato for dessert!
