Working with Nature creating real, natural cheeses using the organic effects of mushrooms and other plants.
Easterdown is inspired by a combination of history, folklore and modern science.
Our principles are:
1. Reinventing the old in light of the new.
To rediscover lost artisan cheesemaking using history and folk tales. Then validate these with scientific tools.
2. Small Cheesemaking is Beautiful Cheesemaking
The scale of cheesemaking at Easterdown will not be dictated by whether it can scale up to supermarket supply levels or not.
3. To follow natural laws, to question conventional practices.
4. To innovate gently and with sympathy.
To create cheese out of milk from our own livestock. High welfare. Holistic management.
To make cheese and live using as few fossil fuels as possible.
Easterdown was off grid when we bought it and we have chosen to remain that way using a combination of solar panels, batteries, modern electronics and an LPG generator for just-in-case power.
Core values:
Questioning, Transparent, Unconventional, Environmentalist, Synergistic

Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide.
Samaritan mission -
We make sure there’s someone there for anyone who needs someone.
We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others.
Samaritans have five core values. They're supported by these behaviours, which we share within the Samaritans organisation: support, trust, aspirational and respect.
Listening
Exploring feelings alleviates distress and helps people to reach a better understanding of their situation and the options open to them.
Confidentiality
If people feel safe, they are more likely to be open about their feelings.
Non-judgemental
We want people to be able to talk to us without fear of prejudice or rejection. People making their own decisions wherever possible
People making their own decisions
We believe that people have the right to find their own solution and that telling people what to do takes responsibility away from them.
Human contact
Giving people time, undivided attention and empathy meets a fundamental emotional need and reduces distress and despair.
