The Taste of Pure Country

The Farm House Natural Cheeses is part of a small family dairy farm located in lush green Agassiz, in the eastern Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada.

Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, happy cows graze the fields to produce the rich fresh milk used for the cheeses made in our on-farm facility.

Our whole family is involved in the work here on the farm, from daily milking and barn chores, hay-making and field work, to cheesemaking.

In these fast-moving times of global markets and industrial food production, it is our wish to nurture and preserve the increasingly-threatened values and traditions of the family farm, and give visitors the opportunity to connect with the farmer and the animals who produce their food.

We value the relationships built along the way-with nature, with the animals, with each other and ultimately with the customer who takes some of our handcrafted cheese home with them.   

French Cheese Guild Inductee

We are honoured to announce that our head cheese-maker, Debra Amrein-Boyes, is one of only twelve persons in western Canada and US who has been inducted into the prestigious French Cheese Guild, the "Guilde des Fromagers Confrerie de Saint-Uguzon", which recognizes those who protect and continue the tradition of cheesemaking around the world.

Debra has also written a book for home cheesemakers that is available at our cheese store.

"200 Easy Homemade Cheeses recipes-From Cheddar and Brie to Butter and Yogurt"

was nominated in 2009 for a World Gourmand Cookbook Award andis available for purchase in our cheese shop, in many book stores, or online. If you have ever wished to try your hand at home cheesemaking, this is the book for you!
