We are Sophie and James Summerlin. We are a husband and wife team who hand make artisan cheeses from our farm. Cow Close Farm is set in an idyllic location beneath Stanage Edge in the Peak District village of Hathersage.

​

We have always had a passion for cheese; it has always been an ambition of ours to produce our own artisan cheeses, and in January 2013 we embarked on the journey towards this. Three years, and lots of hard work later, our first handmade artisan cheese hit the market in April 2016.
