The infamous goats cheese that has been compared to crack - Meet Julie from Meredith Dairy - Victoria, Australia

October 18, 2023 Grown Not Flown Season 1 Episode 8

Julie Cameron and husband Sandy are the producers behind the famous Meredith Dairy.

A household name in Australia, Meredith Dairy has roots in Sheep Farming, but in 1991 the economic climate meant they had to pivot into producing cheeses and other dairy items. The rest as they say... is history.

Now, over 30 years later Meredith Dairy is a vertically integrated organisation with both sheep and goats contributing to their success. Their story however now expands worldwide and has seen them win and collect many accolades along their journey - and not just for the product they are creating - but also for the way they are going about producing with a focus on sustainability, animal welfare and land stewardship. 

Priding herself on responsible farming, in this podcast we chat a little about cheese but more about how the cheese itself is a vessel to ensure the farm and land that Julie is looking after is passed on to the next generation as an economically viable and environmentally sustainable business.
