Farming as it should be
Our farm can be found on the Shropshire/Cheshire border
Surrounded by glorious countryside, our farm grows a range of organic crops including milling wheat, oats for porridge and animal feed, and red and white clover. As part of our organic rotation, the clover helps build soil fertility and is also sold to local organic dairy and livestock farmers for grazing cows and sheep.
Working closely with local organic milk producers helps support a sustainable farming network, with the milk ultimately used to make high-quality organic cheese.
Organic milk producers
Every drop of milk we use for our Organic cheese range is sourced from Red Tractor certified organic farms within a 25 mile radius
Cows are free to graze and benefit from the highest standards of animal welfare. All of this combines to create cheese you can trust, from trusted sources in a completely traceable supply chain. Belton Farm cheese is made, quite frankly, as it should be - with commitment, attention to detail and rigorous annual inspections from independent authorities.
Attention to detail
Cheese that you can trust
The combination of high-quality organic milk and the expertise of the Belton cheesemakers gives Belton cheese its exceptional quality and consistently great taste. Our cheese comes from trusted sources, with a fully traceable supply chain from farm to finished product. Farming in this way requires commitment and attention to detail, supported by rigorous annual inspections from the Soil Association. The result is organic cheese you can trust, every time.
The milk for Belton Farm organic cheese comes from local organic herds all within a 25 mile radius from the dairy.
Animal Welfare
Animal welfare is, of course, a critical part of organic farming
We like to think of organic farming as working with nature – on the one hand protecting natural resources like fresh water and healthy soils, and on the other, actively encouraging cows to forage and graze.
Belton cows are free range and free to roam, grazing outside for a minimum of 180 days and milk collected daily.

We have also planted 15,000 hardwood trees at Belton Farm as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme
