Mary Quicke
Quicke's Cheese
The Quicke family have been stewards of ‘Home Farm’ in Crediton for almost 500 years, with Mary Quicke now holding the mantle and pioneering the way in farmhouse cheddar production. Mary’s cheese is metaphorical of her ethos ‘farm as if you’re going to live forever’, and with generations of experience and craftmanship behind her (and a unique herd of dairy cows!) she is able to capture the best expression of the grass, soil and seasons.
‘farm as if you’re going to live forever’
Mary has been driven by the pursuit of excellence in her craft, and was recognised with an MBE in 2005 for her contribution to farming and cheesemaking.
Our relationship with Quicke's goes back to when Mary used to sell cheese to our mother, Enid, many decades ago!
