Glen Huon Dairy Co.

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.

The farm is unlike almost every other dairy farm in Australia. Not being part of the industrial dairy system means that they are able to make choices about how they farm, which commercial dairy farms do not have the privilege to make.

That makes the farm something they are incredibly proud of.
