It’s giveaway time at Lye Cross Farm, but this time we’re doing it a bit differently. We want to thank all keyworkers for their hard work in supporting the country and we need your help to do it!

In conjunction with Aldwick Estate, we are offering 3 ‘cheeseboard night-in’ packages for 3 lucky keyworkers to enjoy. All we need you to do is follow both us and Aldwick Estate, and tag a keyworker that you feel deserves a tasty treat in the comments box. It would be great if you could share why you have nominated them but not essential!

You can nominate as many keyworkers as you like, but you can only nominate an individual once. For extras chances to win, enter on Twitter and Instagram too!

Prize may differ slightly from the one pictured. Nominations close 31st May at 23:59. For full terms and conditions and for advice on keyworkers, please see below.

We are continuing to offer our home delivery service to the over 70s, however due to the Easter Bank Holidays we will not be delivering on either Good Friday or Easter Monday. Our office will also be closed on these days so please keep this in mind if you need a delivery early next week.

If you are within a 5 mile radius of the Lye Cross Farm Shop (not sure give us a call!) you can call in with your order and we will deliver within the next day or so, and to help avoid contact we can take the payment over the telephone and then knock and drop at your door.

Please call between 9am – 3pm Monday to Friday to place orders, we will be able to deliver from Monday to Friday.

Alternatively, if you would like to collect from the Farm Shop we can take the order and payment and then pop it in your boot!

Please be patient as I’m sure you are aware not every product is readily available at the moment and we are doing our best to ensure we are fully stocked – we might not have exactly what you would like but will try to get very close..

In light of the current situation we are hoping we can help out a little by offering Free Deliveries to our local over 70’s.

We are excited to share the news that at our final show for the year we have received a Bronze award for our Certified 100% Grass-Fed Cheddar at the World Cheese Awards held in Bergamo. A new product this year, it is great to see this cheese win an award. We are sure that the Pasture Fed Livestock Association and A Greener World, who are our certifying bodies in the UK and USA respectively, will be as thrilled as we are with this result!

We are pleased to share that we’ve had a fantastic show at the South West Cheese Awards this year. Held at the Mid Somerset Show, we were awarded four silver prizes and one gold prize. Fingers crossed that we can repeat our success next time!

Great news from the International Cheese Awards at
Nantwich this year! We are pleased to share that we have won two awards at this year’s show – Silver for our Farmhouse Vintage Cheddar and Bronze for our Mild Cheddar.

Despite the wet weather and the unfortunate circumstances that led to most of the show being cancelled, we had a great day talking to those that braved the rain! We made the most of this opportunity to talk to the show visitors about our Mild Mini Cheddar Sticks and our Certified 100% Grass-Fed Cheddar, both of which received a fantastic reception!
