Distinguished Devon-based cheesemaker, Quicke’s will be holding a series of tasting sessions at its Farm Shop in Newton St Cyres, near Exeter, on Saturday 24 March, to help visitors build a cheeseboard that champions local producers this Easter. Run by Quicke’s Ambassador, Stuart Dowle, the tasting sessions will take place from 10:30am and will feature many of the award-winning producer’s clothbound best, alongside other selected cheeses from the region.

Stuart will also unveil Quicke’s first ever mixed milk cheese, Lady Prue, which combines goat’s and cow’s milk to create a youthful, pale and delicate clothbound cheese. Named after Mary Quicke’s mother, who built the original cheese dairy at Quicke’s in the 1970s, Lady Prue is exclusively available at the Quicke’s Farm Shop and Borough Market in London.

An Aladdin’s cave of artisan food, the Farm Shop has everything required for an Easter feast, from local ales, ciders and wines to Quicke’s meat, including wild venison from the woodlands on the Quicke’s Estate and Quicke’s Beef, reared on the farm. You can stock up on local eggs, fresh bread and Riverford milk for the bank holiday, and collect a 10% off voucher to spend on their next visit to Home Farm.

The Quicke’s Farm Shop is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The shop will be open from 10am to 4pm on Good Friday and 9am to 5pm on Saturday 31 March, closing on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
