A summer full of success for Cricketer Farm
22nd October 2008
Somerset-based Cricketer Farm is celebrating after receiving 22 awards in the last four months. From County shows to internationally renowned cheese events, Cricketer Farm has received accolades for its range of butter, cream and traditional and healthier cheeses.
“We are absolutely delighted and very proud to have been presented with our fantastic array of awards and to have received them from such prestigious events is even more rewarding. Massive thanks must go to all our team at the dairy for their hard work, dedication and skill. With their continued support and expertise, we hope to carry on impressing judges for years to come with our new innovative cheeses and traditional recipes that have been passed from generation to generation,” said Peter Derbyshire, Dairy General Manager at Cricketer Farm.
Cricketer has been making cheese for almost 60 years and during this time has been presented with hundreds of awards. The team from Cricketer attended the Royal Bath & West Show, The Devon County Show, Nantwich International Cheese Show and Frome Cheese Show.
Cricketer Farm, situated at the edge of the Quantock hills, the first ever Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), makes traditional and innovative cheeses. Each of Cricketer’s cheeses is made to a traditional recipe using full fat, semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, producing a range of Farmhouse Cheddar cheeses, half fat cheeses and reduced fat cheeses.

Note to Editors: Cricketer Farm was established in the 1940s by the late Lord Beaverbrook and merged with St Helen’s Farm of Yorkshire in 1999. Cricketer makes award-winning Farmhouse Cheddar and also specialises in producing cheeses with a lower fat content, such as cheeses with half the fat of Cheddar and Red Leicester. Milk used for Cricketer’s cheese is supplied by local farms and the Company works closely with the farmers to ensure that the milk used is of the highest quality.
