What You See
From the visitor centre you watch the cheesemaking itself, free of charge. The centre also covers the history and craft behind the cheese, with traditional cheesemaking equipment on show. Afterwards, the shop offers free samples of the farm's award-winning cheeses, which include soft, blue and hard cheeses as well as a sheep's milk cheese.
When to Go
Cheesemaking sessions are usually Monday to Wednesday from 12:30 to 3pm, which makes those the days to aim for. The farm says times vary day by day and asks visitors to call on the morning of the visit. Visit Wales adds that it is open all year but it is essential to check before you go. If you arrive outside a make, the shop and tasting are still worth the stop.
Opening Hours
Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 9am to 1pm. Closed on Sundays. The farm welcomes groups and also has accommodation.
Getting There
The farm is at Fferm Glyneithinog, Pontseli, Lancych, on the Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire border (postcode SA37 0LH). A car is the practical way to reach it.
