About Fen Farm Dairy
The finest raw milk and artisan cheese, produced and handcrafted on our beautiful Suffolk farm.
Fen Farm Dairy Description
Welcome to Fen Farm Dairy!
We are the Crickmore family. We have been farming the land at Fen Farm for three generations and we love what we do to the point where some call us crazy, but we believe we have rediscovered something that many have forgotten. That the very best food in the world is the simplest, straight from nature to your plate. Our herd of happy Montbeliarde and Friesian cows graze the beautiful marshlands of the Waveney River Valley in Suffolk and we are carefully making their delicious raw milk into the finest cheese. We hope you love it as much as we do!
We’d love to hear from you, or better still see you, so please pop in if you are passing by. Take time to stroll around Bungay in the stunning Waveney Valley and while you’re here, you can also try some of our delicious unpasteurised milk.
We hope to see you soon!

🧐 What’s in the backpack sprayer? 🧐 Only the elixir of the gods. We’ve conducted a trial. For the last 4 months we’ve been misting just one winter housing yard with this cocktail of good bacteria from Pruex Ltd. The theory is that the good bacteria will outcompete any bad ones and help to fight off any winter infections in the herd. The results? (Drum roll please.... 🥁) Not even ONE sick cow in the trial yard this winter. Not one dose of antibiotics required. Nil. Just happy, strong, naturally healthy cows. Aled from Pruex, we ❤️ you. This could be MASSIVE news for reducing antibiotic usage in farming. Thank you for thinking outside the 📦. (P.s. this is not an ad, we are just ecstatically happy with this stuff 😂).
