Leagram Organic Dairy is a small organic cheese maker, which was set up in 2001. It is run by Bob and Faye Kitching who have many years experience in the cheese industry.

Many varieties of cheese are made at the dairy from traditional creamy, crumbly and tasty Lancashire to an original sheep’s cheese using local milk from a local farm.

As well as a cheese maker, Bob is a renowned cheese demonstrator, travelling the country to markets and shows demonstrating the art of cheese making. On site at the dairy there is in fact a small demonstration theatre where interested groups from schools or the community can be engaged in the art and process of cheese making, surrounded by a historical collection of artefacts.

This business sells through small independent retailers, shows and farmers markets but in order to promote their business further Bob and Faye acknowledged that they need to improve distribution of their products across the country. As a result they decided to create a website in early 2005, where customers will be able to buy their produce directly from the Internet. Leaflets will also be produced which can be left with customers at the shows directing them to the above website as a route to follow through with enquiries.
