 Innovation, attention to detail and high quality products form the basis of the Shepherds Purse philosophy, and by consistently winning medals and other accolades, the company is proving that some of the best food really is made in Yorkshire. We are proud of our record of achievement. We attribute the consistent quality of our products to our dedicated production team.We are a family run business with Judy Bell at the helm. Justin, her son, is Technical Director and daughter Katie is Production Manager. Eleven people are now employed in a purpose-built creamery making fourteen varieties of cheese, many of which have won British Cheese Awards gold medals. Many can be found as part of the British food menu on Concorde, Eurostar and the House of Commons. Judy is the immediate past chairman of the Yorkshire Pantry, an association of food and drink producers in the county. As well as overseeing the marketing for the Pantry, she develops recipes, trains delicatessen staff and gives frequent demonstrations. Judy puts her company's year-on-year growth record down to the fact that Shepherds Purse cheese is not only delicious but exceptionally nutritious, especially for allergy sufferers. In addition to this she is a member of the Regional Food Innovation Board and chairman of the Supply Chain Network, both of which are concerned with developing the food industry in Yorkshire and Humberside. Today, Shepherds Purse has a range of fourteen cheeses, which are sold nationally through small delicatessens and national retailers, Asda, Booths, Makro, Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco, and Waitrose. |
