All the Lyburn news from 2001.

December 2001. Still lucky with the weather, Concrete has gone down without any threat from the frost, and the internal structure is up in no time at all. Waterside Installations, have done a tremendous job, with only windows and doors left to put in.
November 2001. The building for the new creamery is now in place, helped by some very dry weather, had it been the same time last year we would never have coped, the ground was so wet.
September 2001. British Cheese Awards. There has been a revolution in the British cheese industry in the last 15 years, old recipes revived, new ones created and rarebreeds re-established. To highlight this extraordinary diversity, and the superb quality of British cheeses, the British Cheese Awards were established in 1994. This year for the second occasion, they have been held at Stow, in the heart of the Cotswolds.
Having only made cheese for some 12 months, it was with some trepidation that we entered 3 of our cheeses. Our rewards for nearly 2 years hard work by all, was: Gold for the Lyburn Gold, Silver for the Garlic and Nettle, Bronze for the Lyburn Smoked. To say that this level of success was unexpected is an understatement, however it does confirm the large success that these cheeses have found at Farmers markets and locally.
August 2001 Ground works have now started for the new dairy. We had hoped to have this up and running for Christmas production of cheese, but it is going to be too much of a rush. A number of customers are now asking if we have a shop facility at the farm, and unfortunately the answer is no, not at the moment. To find out where to purchase cheese look at the 'Contact the cheese makers ' page.
July 2001 The original pilot plant and facilities are now working at full stretch. Application was made to the Government, under their Rural Enterprise Scheme for funds to put in a new plant. Money has now been made available, including funds for R&D into new cheeses and products.	.
