Overview

Purchased over 20 years ago, the current owners of Brock Hall had two objectives; firstly to create a stunning country home that would provide a wonderful upbringing for their children and secondly to create a new business venture that combined passion with success. They founded Brock Hall Farm Dairy, a venture that produced internationally award-winning cheeses, lovingly made using the milk from the owner’s herd of pure Saanen goats. Every single one of the Brock Hall goats cheeses won three Great Taste gold stars and gained a loyal following from local chefs to international Michelin starred chefs and even the Royal Family.
