Renowned Local Produce

The rolling countryside is perfect for raising great quality beef, lamb and pork and the salt-rich soil provides the unique characteristics found in the famous Cheshire cheese. Amongst other fruit and vegetables, Cheshire successfully grows acres of delicious asparagus, juicy apples, perfect potatoes, and houses the national collection of quince at Norton Priory.
