NEW HOME | We’re a matter of weeks away from moving into our new dairy at South Devon Food Hub, but yesterday saw the heart of the new community - the Hub - used for the very first time. Located above the dairy, The Hub is a beautiful white space, with far-reaching views. It’s not quite finished just yet (there’s lots more planned besides the main space), but yesterday it was ready enough to welcome guests to its inaugural event - Pasture to Plate, a collaboration between @devonfoodpartnership, @devoncountycouncil and @sharphamcheese which saw speakers gather from @metoffice, @exeteruni, @sharphamcheese @southdevonfoodhub, @nfulife @apricotcentre, @daynesfarm_, @southdevondairy, @huntscider and more to explore the future of farming in Devon and embracing opportunities. We enjoyed a delicious Sharpham cheese lunch and coffee from @owenscoffee_ While it’s a resource for the whole site, The Hub will be managed by Greg. Hope you agree it’s a stunning space. Owners Julie and Ian Dennis, and Greg, hope it will be a centre for the artisan food community, for education in food and farming, and for the occasional knees-up(!) for years to come. #southdevon #devon #southdevonbusiness #devonfarming #farmingtoday #devonfoodanddrink #pasturetoplate #fieldtofork #farmingforchange #farming

We’re now looking forward to the amazing Nello’s Longest Table event on Sunday in our home town of Topsham - an afternoon celebrating with local friends, family and community.

It’s #NationalPicnicWeek and when it comes to portable picnic snacks, cheese is hard to beat. Whether on a cheeseboard or as an ingredient in homemade picnic rolls like these ‘Savour, Squash and Sage’ versions created by Sharpham’s Kate. Easy to transport (even if it’s just to the back garden!) and even easier to nibble on fresh bread, balanced on a cracker with a dollop of chutney or just grazed with a glass of bubbly. You’ll find the recipe for Savour, Squash & Sage Picnic Rolls on our website. Recipe link in our BIO. #nationalpicnicweek #picnicweek #cheeseboard

#ThrowbackThursday Here are owners Greg and Nicky on 15 March 2021 - still in the thick of Covid’s various restrictions with hospitality and retail just emerging from lockdown. After buying Sharpham Dairy they were plunged almost immediately into the pandemic storm which closed off all their routes to market overnight. But they grasped the nettle, quickly rebooted their website to sell online, introduced Zoom tastings and posted recipes, furloughed their staff and continued to make cheese… it was by no means easy, but Sharpham survived the storm. 👉🏼 Swipe to see the pair now in their new dairy at the South Devon Food Hub at Longcombe, near Totnes. The fantastic space is taking shape and will see Sharpham cheesemaking begin later in the year - with space to grow, much better facilities for the small team, beautiful views and a brand new foodie community to be part of. We love a Throwback Thursday! What’s yours? #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #devon

June 4th is not only #DevonDay, but #NationalCheeseDay too! Usually we’d share some lovely Sharpham views, our cows or maybe some cheesemaking… BUT today is the day to introduce you to a different Devon view - our brand new dairy at the South Devon Food Hub. It’s still a work in progress - as you can hear - but we’re so excited to share our new home with you. While we’ll be sad to leave the Sharpham Estate after more than 40 years, moving to the South Devon Food Hub will put us at the heart of a supportive and bustling community of small and medium sized producers. The views of the Devon hills are pretty spectacular too, especially from the first floor shared Hub facilities. You can have the chance to see these for yourself at the very first @southdevonfoodhub event here on 9th July - ‘Pasture to Plate’. Enjoy lunch, a tour and short talks from local farmers, producers and other stakeholders from across Devon’s food and farming sector. 🔗 Full details are at the link in our bio.

It's World Milk Day and we're giving a shout out to our amazing Jersey Girls, our herd of beautiful Jersey cows who produce the milk for our cow's milk cheeses. The Sharpham herd is looked after on a dairy farm on Dartmoor by farmer, Jonny and his family. The cows spend much of their time outdoors munching on lush Devon pastures which is all part of the terroir; the local flora, climate and geography which influence the taste of the milk and contribute to the unique flavour of the cheese. Jersey milk also has a higher fat content than other milks which gives it a richer and creamier taste. If you've tasted our signature Sharpham Brie, renowned for its rich, buttery taste and yellow colour then you'll know what we mean! Dairy is an accessible, affordable, and nutrient-dense food, and an essential part of balanced diets across the world. While some of our Sharpham crew enjoy an oat milk flat white (Andrea, we're looking at you!), we think dairy - done right - has a vital and sustainable place in our fridge and on our cheeseboard. #worldmilkday2024 #enjoydairy

It’s the final day of Goat’s Milk Appreciation Week! Let us (re)introduce you to our goat’s cheese line up! 🐐Our best know and most widely available goat’s milk cheese is TICKLEMORE. Made with 100% goat’s milk. It’s stark white with a flinty texture and mellow yet complex flavour featuring hints of lemon and herb. Famous for looking like a UFO thanks to the unique shape of the baskets the curds sit in to allow the whey drains off. It’s the cheese most likely to convert a goat’s cheese avoider! 🐐Our cheese which has gathered the most awards in recent years is CREMET. A soft cheese made with mostly goat’s milk with added double cow’s cream, Cremet was awarded THREE Great Taste Stars in 2023, putting it in Exquisite’ category and the top 1.8% of products entered. Sublimely rich and squishy when young, oozy and more goaty as it ages, there is nothing else like it. 🐐Our ‘happy accident’ cheese, RUSHMORE is approximately 40/60 goat and cow’s milk and was created when the farmer accidentally poured his goat’s milk on top of the cow’s milk already in the tank. We couldn’t afford to waste it so we made cheese anyway and Rushmore was born. It was crowned Taste of the West Supreme Champion Cheese in 2023! 🐐Finally SAVOUR ‘just’ qualifies as a goat’s milk cheese. Made mainly with cow’s milk from our Jersey herd, with a little added goat’s milk, this washed curd cheese is rich and creamy with a slight tang and a smooth texture. ❓Are you a goat’s cheese lover? VOTE now!
