This is the dairy farm owned and operated by Bruny Island Cheese Co. and the milk produced here makes some of the best and most interesting cheeses in the country. The farm is a showcase of sustainable, small-scale, organic dairy farming that is all about maximising animal welfare and milk quality. The dairy herd is made up of three breeds, all of which are no longer considered commercially viable: Brown Swiss, Australian Dairy Shorthorn and Normande - all excellent dual-purpose breeds for both cheesemaking and beef production. Our farm is unlike almost every other dairy farm in Australia. Not being part of the industrial dairy system means that we are able to make choices about how we farm which commercial dairy farms do not have the privilege to make. That makes our farm something we are incredibly proud of.

Bruny Island Beer Co. started with a conversation between a cheese maker and a brewer. Nick Haddow, founder of Bruny Island Cheese Co., and Evan Hunter, formerly of Tasmanian stalwarts Seven Sheds, Moo Brew and Lark Distillery, designed the brewery around a shared enthusiasm for fermentation and regionally distinctive, artisan produce. The brewery was built behind the cheesery in Great Bay, Bruny Island and our first beer was released in February 2016. The unique brewhouse has been built to Evan's specifications using recycled dairy equipment sourced from local farms. While we maximise the quality and consistency of our products with a mix of old and modern technology, we practise a simple approach to brewing - one that harks back to older methods of making and maturing beer. We brew slow beer in small batches, and lift, tip and stir everything by hand, knowing that quality is only attainable through determination and hard work.
