Premium Wholesale Cheese For Your Farm Shop

Farm shops aren’t just places to buy bread, fruit, veg and cheese - they stand as beacons of tradition, offering a window into the soul of the countryside and its artisanal bounty. They are the embodiment of a movement towards sustainable living, British produce, and the preservation of age-old culinary crafts. Farm shops are an expanding sector in the UK, with one third of all farm shops opening in the last 10 years. It shows a desire from customers for authentic quality produce from smaller farms. Enter Rennet and Rind, your premier wholesale cheese partner bringing you the rich practice of British artisan cheesemaking into the fold of your offerings.
