Bettie Bok Goats Cheese

The Bettie Bok story:

We are a small family-owned artisan goats’ milk cheesery situated on the West Coast of South Africa. After years of dreaming and planning, we finally started making cheese in 2015 under the name Bettie Bok. In this era of fast foods and mass production, it is our desire to preserve for our children some of the more traditional, unhurried ways of yesteryear.

We believe in a culture where the consumer still knows the producer and the origin of products can be traced. By using original methods and raw milk, we want to preserve as much of the wholesomeness of nature as possible. From taking care of our animals to processing the milk, everyone lends a hand. We strive to continually move towards greener, cleaner ways of farming.

Meet the team:

W.A. and our four young sons are taking care of the herd and feeding and milking the goats, while Lillibet is doing the admin and social media.

Cheesemaking is a team effort with WA primarily responsible – and Lillibet and WA’s mother, Sophia, also helping out.
