Fen Farm Dairy

Home of Baron Bigod

Based at Fen Farm near Bungay on the Norfolk-Suffolk border, Fen Farm Dairy is the home of Baron Bigod, one of Britain's most celebrated farmhouse cheeses.

Jonny and Dulcie Crickmore make their cheese using milk from their own herd of Montbéliarde cows, creating cheeses with a genuine connection between the land, the animals, the milk and the finished cheese.

Baron Bigod is their best-known creation: a traditional Brie-de-Meaux-style raw milk cheese with a bloomy white rind and a rich, increasingly soft and complex interior as it ripens. Made by hand on the farm, it has become one of the defining cheeses of the modern British artisan cheese movement.

But Baron Bigod isn't the whole Fen Farm Dairy story.

Depending on the season and availability, you'll also find some of Fen Farm's more unusual cheeses at The Norfolk Deli, including Truffled Baron Bigod, the intensely characterful Rædwald, and seasonal cheeses such as Punch.

It's one of the reasons we enjoy working with smaller cheesemakers. The range doesn't necessarily remain exactly the same throughout the year. Some cheeses are seasonal, others are made in limited quantities, and occasionally something completely new appears.
