Our Farm
Learn a little more about our history
Our History
Our family has been farming at Hill End Farm since 1910, when William Collingborn first established our pedigree Friesian herd. Nestled in the heart of the Dauntsey Vale, our cows graze for around 240 days each year on traditional, lush pastures – producing rich, flavourful milk at their own gentle pace.
Today, the herd remains deliberately small, allowing us to care for each animal individually and keep stress to a minimum.
Ceri is the fifth generation of our family to continue the cheesemaking tradition here on the farm. In 2005, she brought back to life the historic Wiltshire Loaf – once mentioned by Jane Austen in Emma – which went on to win Best Territorial Cheese at the British Cheese Awards.
We now craft a distinctive range of five farmhouse cheeses, including two blues – each rooted in our land, our history, and our commitment to quality.
Healthy Eating
We source all the milk we use from our farm and this is the main ingredient of all of our produce.
Fair Trade
The milk in our produce comes from our farm and we ensure that the milk is bought at a fair price for the farmer. This in turn allows our traditional farm to continue and allows us to have high animal welfare standards.
Buying Brinkworth Dairy gives the assurance that the farm receives a fair price.
We ensure above-cost-of-production trading. We want our agricultural techniques to be sustainable.

What Our Clients Say
Liz
The cheese you let me have a couple of days ago was delicious – I ate most of it on the 1st day. Very well balanced flavour.
Chris
Had the cheese this evening with big red apples and cream crackers loaded with butter and washed down by a nice German hock. Ab fab.
Steve
By the way my wife informed me this morning that she liked your cheese especially the hard cheese. Since my wife loves her food I would take that as an endorsement.
