A Season of Growth and Gratitude
A look at how the oldest cheesemaker is growing, adapting, and celebrating this spring.
As the first signs of spring return to the Somerset countryside, there’s a fresh sense of optimism at Barber’s. From our family farms to our cheese dairies, 2025 has begun with strong momentum, new opportunities, and plenty to celebrate.
