MEET THE MAKER:BOATSHED CHEESE
Born in 2011, through the discovery of an array of locally produced foods, including farm-fresh goat milk. BoatShed Cheese was established to provide the Mornington Peninsula with quality handmade artisan cheese.
The business may have changed hands in 2020, but with Northern Victorian dairy farmers now behind the wash, this cheese champion continues to excite and educate open minds today.
New owners Sarah and John Archard have created a space where adventurers can immerse themselves in the cheese production process by watching the goat, cow and buffalo cheese being made through the viewing window.

“WHEN WE BOUGHT BOATSHED CHEESE, WE WANTED IT TO BE A CELLAR DOOR EXPERIENCE WHERE WE COULD SERVE OUR OWN CHEESE ON A SMALL MENU. WE BOUGHT IT AS A WHOLESALING BUSINESS BUT HAVE NOW EXPANDED THE WAREHOUSE INTO A WHOLESALE AND RETAIL OPERATION SO THAT OUR CUSTOMERS CAN COME IN AND OBSERVE HOW OUR CHEESE IS BEING MADE.”
Owner Sarah Archard – Dairy Farmer.
