The cheese is made, the meat is butchered and the flour is milled on the same farm. Norfolk & Better is a 1,500-acre farm at Carbrooke, near Thetford in Breckland, run by Peter and Alex Dawe and their team. The cheese room turns pasteurised Channel Island cow's milk into four cheeses. Jiffler is semi-hard and brined so it grows its own rind. Jiffler Blue is the milder, creamier relation. Breckland Brie and Norbert are both soft, with white bloomy rinds. They grow the wheat, stone-mill it on the farm and sell strong white, plain and wholemeal flour. Then there is the meat: their own Jagyu beef, woodland pork and lamb. Growing wheat is one thing. Milling it yourself, while also making cheese and running a butchery, is quite another. You can order cheese boxes, meat and flour online for delivery or collection from the farm. If you are nearer Norwich, Jiffler Blue is on the counter at Old Hall Farm in Woodton, the raw milk dairy also on Produced Near-By. Four cheeses, three flours and a butchery, all from one holding in the Brecks.
