Ferndale Farmhouse Cheese

Norfolk Farmhouse Cheese

Traditional farmhouse cheeses made on a working Norfolk farm

Ferndale Farmhouse is a small-scale Norfolk cheesemaker producing traditional farmhouse cheeses made on their family farm. Rooted in hands-on farming and time-honoured cheesemaking methods, Ferndale’s cheeses reflect careful husbandry, patience and a genuine connection between land, milk and finished cheese.

Their commitment to small-batch production and traditional techniques makes Ferndale Farmhouse a natural fit for The Norfolk Deli and a favourite with customers who value authentic, locally made cheese.

About Ferndale Farmhouse

Ferndale Farmhouse is based on a working farm in Norfolk, where cheesemaking forms part of a wider, sustainable farming system. Milk is produced on the farm and transformed into cheese using traditional methods that prioritise flavour, texture and consistency over speed or scale.

By keeping production small and hands-on, Ferndale is able to maintain control at every stage of the process — from animal care through to maturation — resulting in cheeses that are honest, characterful and deeply rooted in place.
