Stowmarket, Suffolk
Pyghtle is an old word, possibly of Anglo-Saxon origin, meaning a small plot of land or small field, which appears on old maps of Broughton Hall Farm.
Emily and her husband Sam are arable farmers based in Suffolk who are working to diversify their farm, with the long-term goal of integrating animals into their system. Developing a cheese has been their first step in that direction, and we were one of their first customers when they started production in 2024. To source the milk, Emily is collaborating closely with friends who keep a small flock of sheep nearby, as well as with a larger herd in Buckinghamshire that also supplies milk to other cheesemakers.
All the Pyghtle we buy is made exclusively from the milk of the smaller local flock, with whom Emily works most closely on a daily basis. In fact, all of the milk produced by that flock is turned into cheese by Emily, providing a secure outlet for a small-scale, seasonal farm that prioritises outdoor grazing and keeping ewes with their lambs after they’re born.
As Pyghtle is still a fairly recent addition to our counters, we are giving feedback to Emily on every delivery that reaches us, helping her to hone her cheesemaking skills and develop the cheese as quickly as possible.
