April is Cheese Month in SA!
 

Six-months Klein River Gruberg (formerly Klein River Gruyere).
Dear Family & Friends,

A busy month awaits us all on the farmstead for the month of April:
A family wedding,
Agri-Expo DuPont South African Dairy Championships dinner, the Picnic Shed closing weekend and, of course, The Cheese Festival.
Therefore, due to all the exciting events coming up, this newsletter will be split into two newsletters.The second newsletter will be published in a month's time.    

Picnic Shed Hibernating

 

One last weekend for cheese, picnic and family fun


The opening of The Picnic Shed signals the start of Spring, new beginnings and the impending sizzling summer season on the Farmstead. This time of the year reminds us that Winter is just around the corner, the leaves have started to fall and early morning fog sweeps through the Overberg.  
This weekend will be the last for The Picnic Shed this season. 
The season has been hugely popular once again with thousands of picnickers from around South Africa and abroad enjoying the playground, farm animals, river, family-time and cheese...
Make sure you join us for one last picnic before we close on 4 April.

The Cheese Boutique will remain open throughout the winter. Make sure you visit our website for opening and closing times. 


The farmstead will be closed on the weekend of 30 April. Pete and Mags Baleta's daughter, Hannah, is getting married to Raymond Siebrits. The Picnic Shed will be hosting their family and friends for a joyous picnic celebration.

The Cheese Festival 2016

Klein River Cheese is thrilled to be attending the popular Cheese Festival, 2016.

April is generally regarded as Cheese Month in South Africa. We are fortunate to be part of the the cheese fraternity and the evolving South African cheese industry. This culminates in the black tie Dairy Awards dinner and a few days later the highly entertaining Cheese Festival.  
We have not participated in the festival for many years and our presence this year has excited the Turophiles of South Africa. A first for the Baleta's, as well as the new team, we have been hard at work to ensure an innovative stand with great cheese, knowledgeable staff and exciting products.  
Details of the festival can be viewed

Cheese Festival Picnics: We absolutely have to bring along a few take-away picnics for the festival!


 
A range of our popular truckles (baby heads) will be available for purchase at The Cheese Festival.

South Africa Dairy Champions

 

Yet another exciting year for the innovative South African Dairy Industry


We are anticipating the upcoming South African Dairy Championships immensely.
Klein River Cheese entered all of our cheeses last month for judging. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to benchmark our products with other South African cheese. We look forward to receiving the results and meeting the role-players in the industry.
We have high hopes for the World Cheese Award winner Klein River Overberg (see here), Klein River Grana and Klein River Gruberg. While the tasty Klein River Danbo and supremely creamy Klein River Havarti are usual winners in their class.
This year 895 dairy products entered and 60 lucky judges sampled the delicious dairy delights on offer.
