Caerfai Farm

Inspired by the birth of his grandchildren, and the increasingly visible effects of climate change on Pembrokeshire’s soil, third-generation farmer Wyn Evans has become a pioneer of eco-friendly farming practices. Coastal Caerfai runs on 100% renewable energy produced on site using solar panels, wind turbines and geothermal sources – as well as the herd’s plentiful cow pats (used for methane capture). Even Wyn’s farm vehicles are electric.

Caerfai farm has been producing cheese for almost 25 years, and certified organic since 1993. The unpasteurised Cheddar and Caerffili cheeses are handmade by Linda, Wyn’s daughter, using traditional recipes. The farm overlooks Caerfai Bay (near St. Davids), a beautiful sandy cove surrounded by purple sandstone cliffs, meaning the dairy cows have great coastal views as they graze on 180 acres of chemical-free grassland almost year-round.
