🥛This Raw Milk Cheese Week, we're celebrating Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese with 20% off in Larder at GROW HQ 🐄
🧀Knockanore Cheese is handmade on the Lonergan family farm in County Waterford, using raw milk from their pedigree herd of Friesian cows.
The Lonergan family have been farming in the lush rolling countryside of Knockanore for over 60 years. The cheese is a hard-pressed, mature farmhouse cheese made in the cheddar style. The raw milk adopts the flavours of the local pasture on which the cows graze producing a cheddar cheese with a complex creamy flavour, earthy tones and a nutty aroma.
We are proud to serve Knockanore Farmhouse Cheese at GROW HQ 🧀

Our Story

GROW HQ is the home for the GIY movement.. We grow delicious, healthy seasonal produce in the garden on site. Along with other organic, chemical free, free range ingredients sourced locally, all prepared by our incredible kitchen team to maximise its nutrition and flavour. The cafe is open to the public and we cater events and meetings held on site. Our education centre offers courses and classes to teach adults, teens and children how to grow their own fruit, veg and herbs, how to harvest it and how to cook it in the state of the art demonstration kitchen. We hold seminars and information sessions where nutrition, food, health and, of course, growing food is discussed and debated. GROW HQ is a place to socialise, to eat, to learn, to work and to play. We hope to see you there.
