Producer
Down at the foot of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, Peter and John Alvis have helped orchestrate a stunning environment in which their dairy cattle can graze. Over the past fifteen years, they’ve planted over 12,000 trees, numerous hedgerows, they’ve created ponds and renovated waterways, all of which has drawn wildlife to the farm and painted wild flower meadows across the fields.
Their dairy cows love it! Of course all those gorgeous flowers and rich grasses make for the tastiest milk, which they employ, using old-fashioned cheddar-making skills, to make this tasty cheddar.
