Thornby Moor Dairy
Thornby Moor Dairy was established as a specialist cheesemaker in 1979 by Carolyn Fairbairn. She set up a dairy in the basement of the family home, a converted Solway bank barn. Entirely self taught in the art of cheesemaking, she began by adapting a basic smallholder recipe to make Allerdale cheese using raw milk from her own herd of goats. Is this your company?Encouraged by a farming neighbour, production of raw cow's milk cheeses soon followed and Cumberland Farmhouse was born. Designed to be a territorial for Cumbria; an everyday cheese noted for its buttery texture. (The Solway Plain, which lies to the north of the Lake District, was once renowned for buttermaking.) In 1989 we became a founder member of the Specialist Cheesemakers Association whose Code of Best Practice we adhere to in the production of our cheeses.
