Dairy farmers across Britain have had a bad year, frustrated at the prices that supermarkets offer them for their milk. In Orkney, though, things are different. On the archipelago just off the north coast of Scotland the dairy farmers supply their milk to a cheese factory that they actually own. The result is a stable price for their milk and some tasty cheddar to export to mainland Britain and to the cheese-loving French. Tom Heap visits Berriedale Farm on the lush island of South Ronaldsay to meet Marcus Wood, his son Erlend and the herd of Holstein-Friesian cattle that supply the milk to the cheesemakers.
