Hamish Clark started the business but it is now run by the second generation, two brothers and their wives. Callum and Jill manage the cheese side of the business, both making their award winning cheeses, alongside an entirely local team, and ensuring a fully traceable product, while Cameron and Eileen manage the farm which includes breeding, herd management and milking. The brothers have a fully organic herd of 150 Holstein Friesian, Jersey and Norwegian Red cows, who graze luscious, naturally sea sprayed, clover pastures along the shores of Moray Firth. A state of the art dairy was built in 2006 to allow all of their cheese to be handcrafted using traditional methods in a safe and clean space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dairy put animal welfare and sustainability at the very top of their agenda and grow all their own organic feed, while protecting the stunning environment that surrounds the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSustainability and Climate Responsibility\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnage Highland Dairy have a fully organic herd, whose cows graze freely on clover pastures and whose winter feed is entirely homegrown and organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganically reared animals are protected so are guaranteed a huge amount of space, access to pasture and as much time outside as possible. Organic standards also ban the routine use of antibiotics and wormers and instead ensure that animals have ample space to roam, which naturally reduces stress and disease and removes the need to use them in the first place. Organic fed cows cannot be fed GM animal feed so their carbon footprint is much lower than barn kept cows as food doesn’t need to be grown for them elsewhere and so there are very few, if any, food miles involved in their feeding. Farms run under these organic standards also see a vast increase in biodiversity on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlavour Profile\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnage Gouda is a creamy cheese with an open texture and a sweet, milky and nutty flavour when younger.
