The BEST Cheese Making & Supplies in Noosaville QLD

Kenilworth Dairies has a rich history in the dairy industry. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mary Valley and Sunshine Coast hinterland it is no wonder our products are fresh and full of passion. The dairy industry is nothing new to fourth generation dairy farmer, John Cochrane. Originally from Kin Kin, John was taught the ‘ins and outs’ of dairying from his Father and Mother, Alan and Mavis Cochrane. For the past 93 years a Cochrane has represented Queensland dairy farmers on various dairy boards, a real testament to the family’s passion and commitment to the industry. As many farmers know, dairy farming is hard and only for the truly passionate. Over the years John watched as many of his neighbours and friends sold their properties to stay afloat. As a result, John transformed his passion for dairy farming into something great. In 2017, John Cochrane became the new owner of the Kenilworth Cheese Factory and renamed it to Kenilworth Dairies. John envisioned Kenilworth Dairies as a way of supporting and ensuring the survival of local farmers in the region. Within weeks, Kenilworth Dairies was sourcing milk from local farms in the Mary Valley. One farm being Johns own son, Kelvin Cochrane in nearby Kandanga. Kenilworth Dairies will continue to support local farms and their families for generations to come.
