Farming England Our Cheese Farm

For decades, Fen Farm Dairy in Suffolk was a traditional dairy farm. But in 2012, the price of milk dropped across the dairy farming sector, and many farms in England were plunged into crisis. Third-generation farmer Jonny decided to make a drastic change and bolster his business by diversifying into cheesemaking - using raw milk, straight from his cows, to create a French style cheese.

Jonny says he 'didn't have the foggiest' about making cheese – so he enlisted the help of a French cheese expert and travelled to France to buy 72 Montbéliarde cows, a breed highly prized for their milk in cheesemaking.

In the first week of production, 20 wheels of cheese were sold. A decade later, Jonny's team dispatches 150 tonnes of cheese around the world every year – and demand is still growing. But such rapid growth brings challenges. In this film, we meet Jonny, his wife Dulcie and the rest of the team on the farm, responsible for everything from herding and milking the cows to making and wrapping the cheese. They are determined to stick to their principles while managing a growing business, but it's not easy.

Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
