The Ashgrove milk and cheese factory is located at Elizabeth Town, in the heart of the dairying and cropping region in Northern Tasmania. Several generations of Bennett families have been farming the land surrounding the milk and cheese factory since the 1880's.
In 1993 the Ashgrove Cheese factory was built nearby to the rotary dairy and the first vat of cheese was produced on 29 November 1993. From an initial small factory, the factory has grown in size over the years. The factory store which opened in April 1994 has enabled our valued customers and tourists to learn how our cheese is made.
Light meals are available all day or you can sit out on the deck with a cheese snack enjoying the rural views. Products stocked include gourmet Tasmanian food, wine and beer, as well as cheese from other Tasmanian cheese makers. The shop is open every day except Christmas Day.
Opening hours: 7.30am-6pm Oct-Apr,
7.30am-5pm May-Sept
