ONE of the region’s award-winning cheesemakers, Feltham’s Farm near Wincanton has announced details of three new wholesaler partnerships across the UK, expanding its reach significantly as demand continues to grow at the certified organic dairy.

New wholesalers now stocking the Feltham’s Farm range of multi-award-winning products include fine food specialists, Carron Lodge in Lancashire, Suma Wholefoods in West Yorkshire, and Organic North, a member-run co-operative based near Manchester. With its organic cheese now available more widely in the north of England, Feltham’s Farm products also continue to be stocked with well-known companies including Rowcliffe, The Fine Food Company and The Fine Cheese Co based in the south.

Despite a decline in the number of organic cheesemakers nationwide, Feltham’s Farm is continuing to expand. Consumer appetite for organic food remains strong across the wider food and drink sector, and Feltham’s Farm founders Marcus Fergusson and Penny Nagle are working hard to create new opportunities for organic cheese.

This work has been boosted by award wins in 2026, including Best English Cheese at the Artisan Cheese Awards, where the small lactic cheese Lucky Marcel achieved a perfect 100/100 rating with judges. Also this year, Feltham’s Farm picked up a host of accolades at Great Taste, including two stars for Lucky Marcel and Rebel Nun, while La Fresca Margarita was named Best Fresh Cheese at the Virtual Cheese Awards in June.

Media exposure has also helped to put Feltham’s Farm in front of a broad consumer audience. Recent coverage in The Economist, Daily Express, Women’s Weekly, Good Housekeeping, The Observer and Countryside magazine, among others, has increased awareness of the brand while also waving the flag for organic cheese and its better outcomes for climate, nature and health.

Co-founder and head cheesemaker Marcus Fergusson says: “There have been so many exciting stages of development here at Feltham’s Farm, from early markets to new launches and big awards, but our growth and expansion this year has felt like a defining period for the business. We feel in a great position to push on into the next chapter of our story. With the help of our wholesale partners old and new, we’re ready to get more of our nature-friendly products on cheeseboards this Christmas, and far beyond.”

Cathryn Ruffell from Organic North added: “Partnering with Feltham’s Farm was an easy decision for us after meeting Penny at a Food System Resilience Project workshop last year. The sheer quality of their artisan range blew the Organic North team away – particularly the La Fresca Margarita. Beyond making truly wonderful, award-winning cheeses, Penny and Marcus are fantastic advocates for the sector through the Organic Cheesemakers Network.”
