Marion Roeleveld left Holland in search of "the good life" in Ireland, after falling in love with Irish goat farmer Haske. They set up their dairy in County Galway, and in 2004 Marion made her first cheese. They now have a herd of 200 goats grazing on 50 acres of land. 

Their most popular cheese, is their hard Goat's Milk Gouda style, Killeen. Aged for around 12 months, developing deep caramel and butterscotch notes, with lighter floral tones, and a gentle goat flavour.
