Transcript

00:00 Hi, I'm Lizzie and I grew up on this dairy farm. It's Cutthroat Creamery and I grew up milking the cows.

00:10 And I'm Matthew, Lizzie's partner and I get roped into a sort of with the dairy and building farm shops.

00:16 Exactly.

00:17 We just thought we'd open a farm shop to try and create a healthy community and diversify the farm.

00:24 We sell local cheese from Chesterfield Cheese Pastures.

00:27 We sell our own milk that was pasteurised on the farm and from the cows that we raise.

00:33 I'm just looking around.

00:35 We sell bake oil, bakery bread, the coffees from Roastology in Sheffield.

00:39 And then we've got peak preserves and jams and stuff from the farm at Pillsbury.

00:44 And then on the actual menu we're starting to have Moss Valley Fine Meats.

00:50 We're having their bacon and sausage and stuff.

00:54 And we use Roastology's coffee in all the coffees as well and our own milk.

00:59 And ice cream.

01:00 And yes, soon we'll have ice cream.

01:02 And hopefully in the summer months as well we're hoping to do our own burgers and we're going to do some ready meals.

01:08 So you can come and buy a lasagne or a cottage pie or a joint for a Sunday dinner and then all your veg as well with that.

01:16 Really we're trying to use this as an extension to the new dairy.

01:19 So we're just moving into a new dairy at the moment where we'll be able to do ice cream and a lot more milk.

01:23 So it reduces the food miles, tries to keep it low where we can and support the local businesses as well.

01:29 It's like a hub for the communities.

01:31 We were really shocked, I mean we couldn't believe it the first day could we?

01:35 Weekend's definitely a lot busier than the week and we do need to sort some parking.

01:39 But other than that, it's great just to see people from the village come in, sort of time after time again, meet their friends, catch up.

01:46 Sort of sit and read a book and look at the cows.

01:48 Yeah, we're open 8.30am till 5pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

01:53 Just doing three days at the moment and as we're moving towards summer we might look to extend it a little bit and maybe do...

01:57 Yeah, do some holidays.

01:59 Yeah, and we did say we're the possibility of maybe doing sort of an evening a week of something trialling like quiz nights, pie and pea nights.

02:06 Something to get the community together, get people out and don't go out very often.

02:09 Get together.
