Cheese made with our own cows milk

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 40 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.

    Hampshire Farmers Market Dates


    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 Royal Oak Pub
    The Royal Oak Pub, Fritham is one of our locals. We take a number of enquiries from visitors to the area as to where to get a good pint and a ploughmans. Look no further. Then come on down to the shop, open Monday,Tues, Weds,Thurs,Friday from 8am to 4.30pm.

    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
