Ford Farm - Crofter Sheep Cheese

Dorset Crofter marks Ford Farm’s first foray into cheese made with sheep’s milk.<br> Inspired by Manchego, Spain’s most popular and famous cheese, Dorset Crofter was the recipient of a Gold Medal at the World Cheese Awards – even before it was named! We are anticipating many more awards as this delicious variety really begins to make an impact on the cheese-eating public.<br><br>Dorset Crofter is made from milk sourced from local Frieslands and Polled Dorsets. The technique employed for the creation of Dorset Farmer is the same as for traditional West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. <br><br> The process is performed almost entirely by hand and the cheese pressed into cylindrical moulds which are then bound in cheese cloth before being left to age, but in the case of Dorset Crofter, for around six months.<br><br> Crofter has a sweet, lingering taste which is smooth and mild, a distinctive butterscotch colour and a slightly crumbly texture.<br><br> Perfect alternative to cows milk cheese. Serve on a cheeseboard, grate onto dishes and over salads.

Ford Farm - Dorset Red Smoked Cheese

Launched in 2008 Dorset Red has gone from strength to strength, wowing the Dorset cheese eating public as well as the national and international community, with its deliciously smooth mellow, smoky flavour.<br><br> When Ford Farm takes Dorset Red to Shows across the County, it is very often the most popular choice. Once persuaded to try it, even those who profess not to like smoked cheese, immediately fall in love with Dorset Red’s unique flavour and just keep coming back for more.<br><br> Dorset Red is created in the same way that Ford Farm makes its traditional cheddar, using milk sourced from local grazing herds and with the process conducted predominantly by hand. <br><br> However, the heat of the milk is lowered and less stirring is done, resulting in a milder flavour as well as a softer texture. It is pressed into block moulds and left to mature for around three months. <br><br> Dorset Red has a deep amber colour, due to the addition of annatto, a commonly used natural colouring which gives it a similar appearance to a Red Leicester.<br><br>Dorset Red is a smooth, mellow red Leicester style cheese with a distinctive flavour which is slightly sweet and nutty and infused with a deliciously rich and lingering smokiness. Dorset Red is cold-smoked over oak chips, overnight, which bestows it with its distinctive, mellow, smoky flavour.<br><br>Serve on a cheeseboard, grate into dishes, add to quiche recipes, grill onto steak or toast.

Gemstone Grass Fed Beef

Gemstone Grass Fed Beef - Steaks - Flat Iron

ethically raised <br> grain free <br> no added hormones or antibiotics <br> no GMO feed <br> grass finished <br> Animal care is our top priority. We believe in creating a comfortable, natural environment for our cattle, using low-stress handling and herding methods. Gemstone cattle are born and raised on our farm and enjoy a natural, grain free, nutrient rich diet free from added hormones. In the winter, the cattle remain free to roam in large fields, but are also provided with wind shelter and straw bedding for protection during storms and extreme cold. <br><br> In the spring, summer and fall, our cattle graze on a variety of lush, nutrient dense grasses and other forage. We rotate them through our open pastures often, so they can eat the most nutritious parts of the plant, resulting in high-quality beef that our customers desire. <br><br> To maintain health and growth, cattle finished in the cold winter months are fed a mix of green hay and silage. Silage is chopped up grass, or other green fodder, that is preserved over the winter by airtight fermentation to prevent spoilage. Just like canning vegetables or fruits! Small quantities of sunflower seeds, rolled flax or malt sprouts may also be added for extra energy and nutrition. <br><br> Good for our Customers It contains vitamins A, B6, B12, D, E, minerals like iron and zinc, and essential amino acids. However, research has shown that finishing cattle on a grass fed diet has several health benefits for consumers. <br><br> Some of the health benefits of grass fed beef include: <br> Higher in Vitamin A and E: powerful antioxidants that support healthy vision, skin, bones and other tissues in the body.<br> Two to three times more conjugated linoleic acid: a healthy fat that's been tied to improved immunity and anti-inflammation. Higher concentration of omega-3 fatty acids: essential fatty acids that have been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and other conditions.<br> More desirable omega-6 to omega-3 ratio: Health professionals suggest that a healthy diet consists of 1 to 4 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids. While essential for normal body function, excess amounts of omega-6 can cause inflammation in the body. Studies have shown that grass fed beef repeatedly falls within the healthy 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.
