Mid-week mosey – the sequel!

I went back to see Chris at Neneview Dairy this week and took 8 friends along with me.

We were greeted by Geoff, aka “the goat man” who took us on a tour of the farm and of course the goats. Goats are the most happy and friendly animals – all of them have names to suit their personalities. My personal favourite - “Asbo” - I do love a little bit of attitude! A great way to start the day, a cuddle with a goat.

Chris, aka “the cheese lady” then took us on a tour of the cheese making process. We saw everything from the milking facilities to the cheese store.

We were then treated to a tasting session – cheese and biscuits of course, and a welcome cuppa. Everyone had the best time and came away having purchased their personal choice from the tasting. This time for me it was “Cobblers Choice” a mature Cheddar type and “Rapstick” a Double Gloucester with chives.

I'm sorry to mention Christmas but, there's a method in my madness. Chris and Geoff produce a cheese for the season, “Cranberry Currier” - a Wenslydale style cheese with cranberries. They have also created a range of gift packs to suit everyone and I've already got some great ideas for gifts.

If you'd like to visit Chris and Geoff you'll be made very welcome but call ahead first on 01933 355169 or check out the website, www.neneviewdairy.co.uk or email: NeneviewDairy@outlook.com.

Finally, I thought you'd like a picture or two of my new friends.

Thank you Chris and Geoff for your hospitality.
