Buy simply good dairy
Our passion for cheese means this is the ideal place to of course get…all the cheese! Our shop is open 7 days, and apart from Maleny Cheese and Yoghurt, you can also buy other local dairy brands. The delicious local dairy we offer in our shop is made with the wonderfully fresh local milk pool supplied by our Obi Obi Dairy, which works with five local dairy farms in the Sunshine Coast region (including our own). The other regional supplying farmers that make up the ‘milk pool’ are selected for their quality. They are often generational dairy farmers with a solid commitment to the cows and the land they farm.
The soils of the Sunshine Coast were previously rainforests. They contain rich humus and millions of years of life within them. They are usually fed with plentiful rainfall, but like the entire continent, climates are changing. Recent times have seen cycles of drought causing a ‘green drought’ for these supplying farmers of the Sunshine Coast region. These farmers use years of farming knowledge and experience to farm with low rainfall in the area. They seasonally use low stocking rates to keep their small farms thriving despite the conditions, which makes Sunshine Coast fresh milk so special…….
