Mossfield Organic Farm is located six miles from Birr in County Offaly at the foot of the Sleive Bloom Mountains. The majority of the farm consists of limestone pasture which produces lush grass interwoven with wild herbs and clover, this provides ideal grazing for the herd of eighty cows. Ralph Haslam has being farming at Mossfield since 1970 and converted to organic farming in 1999. In 2005 Ralph began producing an organic gouda type cheese which has since gone on to win many awards. Now he is looking to expand into other dairy products such as yogurt and ice-cream.
All of our cheese is handmade using milk only from our farm and is suitable for vegetarians. Our young and herbed cheeses are sold after three months of ripening. Our mature cheese is at least eight months old before being sold. We are currently producing the following varieties:
Garlic & Basil
Tomato & Herb
Mature
Young Plain
Cumin Seed
