About
Main Ridge Dairy is located on the rolling hills of the Mornington Peninsula. The farm raises dairy goats that graze on these hills. All cheeses are handcrafted on the property using traditional and sustainable methods, with fresh milk turned into cheese after milking.
The cheeses can be purchased directly at the farm gate. They are also available at selected stores and restaurants across the Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne. Visitors can enjoy cheese and the surrounds at 'Billies', which also serves as an event space.
The business has been featured on Channel Nine's Postcards and in Stock & Land. Main Ridge Dairy acknowledges the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land. The current source also makes clear that the dairy is a working goat property with a farm-gate cheese counter, so the listing remains a direct producer rather than a general cafe or deli.
