Announcement

After over two decades of running Two Hoots Cheese, we have made the difficult decision to hang up our aprons and move on from cheesemaking. The silver lining is that we are keeping it in the family and leaving it in very good hands. Anne Wigmore (Sandy’s cousin), her husband Andy, her son Jake and the team at Village Maid Cheese will continue to produce our award-winning Barkham Blue with the same quality and passion that we have. We are deeply grateful for the loyalty and support of our customers, suppliers, the Specialist Cheesemaker’s Association and our local food group, Hampshire Fare. We wish them all the best for the future. We would also like to thank the judges and organisers of the many award events that we have entered during our time, helping us to keep Barkham Blue on the cheese map.

Our next chapter is full of unfinished projects, helping our daughter Nia and son Liam with theirs and, hopefully, more time to travel.

During the next few weeks, we will of course be working alongside the team at Village Maid and hope to have the first batches of the 2024 Barkham Blue ready for week commencing 18th March, so thank you all for bearing with us.

We hope that you will continue to enjoy our cheese for many years to come!

We’re a small family business, priding ourselves
on producing quality handmade cheese.
