Denmark Farmhouse Cheese Co- Denmark WA


Denmark! People from the Margaret River will have you think that there is no reason to venture beyond Nannup or Pemberton! ha! Thanks to the invaluble advice of Kate McKenzie-
TradeStart Export Advisor for the WA Government, we came across a real gem! Denmark.
Denmark, described by the locals as 'Margaret River 10 years ago' is a gorgeous town in The Great South West and is located 40 minutes west of Albany. Here you will meet many unassuming foodies in a region that is growing exponentially. One of the most passionate would have to be Ross Lewis of Denmark Farmhouse Cheese!
I had the pleasure of meeting Ross and tasting a wide variety of his produce from cheese, ice cream, fudge, wine, oil, jams, mustards, chutneys and believe it or not, the list goes on. this family owned company is a powerhouse for home made products. More than just a retail outlet, this farmhouse property is worth a trip to for lunch on the vehrander and a chat to the people who make the cheese and run the shop! Now how rare is that?
We will feature Cheese from The Denmark Farmhouse Cheese Company in our upcoming 'Australian Cheese & Wine' class. See the website for more details and to register your interest.

Quite agree. Denmark is a real little treasure. We visited 18 months ago and can also recommend the Bramble Berry Farm as a worthy visit, either before of after Denmark Farmhouse Cheese .
