Lyburn
Farmhouse Cheesemakers.
Lyburn farm makes a
variety of different hand made cheeses, all of which are
made from our own cows milk. Although they are pressed,
these artisan cheeses are not that close to cheddar
cheese. They are, in general, a softer and a more
continental type of cheese, with the exeption of Old
Winchester and Old Smales. The Lyburn Gold, is where we
start and details of this cheese and all the others can
be found on the next page headed 'Cheeses'.

Farm
History.
Lyburn farm lies on the northern edge of the New Forest,
straddling the small river Blackwater, and has been
farmed by the Smales family and Mike and Judy in
particular for the last 38 years. The river Blackwater
rises on some of the high ground of the forest and as the
heather and gorse gives way, to the old ancient oak
forest, home of the fallow deer, the countryside falls
away sharply towards the north. In the bottom of the
valley you will find the Hamptworth estate, of which
Lyburn farm is part. The name Lyburn, is in fact quite
unique, it is derived from the Scottish, lye 'born', and
burn 'river', 'borne by the river', and with the
Blackwater on either side we certainly are.
Who

The New
Forest
The New Forest, has no great history of cheese making,
unlike the west country. Traditionally, in the last 100
years, the milk from Hampshire, has always travelled
eastwards to the large conurbations of Southampton and
London, to be sold as bottled milk. Historically records
show that cheese, will have been made by the Cistercian
Monks at Beaulieu and other Monasteries, back in the
1200's. Cheese will also have been made on the various
farmsteads in the last 500years, particularly those farms
that are named 'White House Farm' as they will certainly
have had connections with cheese.

The manors
of Winchester, of which this area was part, including
Downton, indicate that cheese was made locally, but not
in large commercial quantities. So for the valley of the
Blackwater, and Lyburn Farm, cheese making is a
relatively new venture set up to address the needs of a
changing market pla
