Our approach to sustainability is rooted in authenticity, integrity and care. More than just a dairy, we are stewards of our craft - committed to nourishing both people and place, enriching our community, and continually striving to reduce our environmental impact.
In 2024 we were honoured to receive The Kings Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development - a reflection of our commitment to People, Planet and Product. This guiding philosophy ensures that we uphold tradition while embracing a responsible future for artisan cheesemaking.
We couldn't make Yarg without the leaves that nature provide us. We carefully forage around two tonnes of nettles and one tonne of wild garlic leaves every spring in a way that allows us to return to the same plentiful sites year after year.
We have installed solar panels on the roof of the dairy to help power the site. We are also purchasing 100% renewable electricity.
We provide product care instructions to avoid unnecessary food waste, use any wonky cheese for cheese toasties at local events, and have a refillable milk station in our shop.
We belong to Cornwall Food and Drink, Dairy UK, and sponsor UK Cheese Guild at the Academy of Cheese. We are also proud members of the Specialist Cheesemaking Association and the Great Cornish Food Academy. Lynher Dairies also supports the Cornwall Community Foundation.
