Leitrim Hill Creamery is a family-run artisanal dairy business located in Drumcong, County Leitrim, Ireland. Founded in 2017 by Lisa Gifford, the creamery began as a personal venture to reconnect with her Irish roots. Lisa, originally from New York with grandparents from Manorhamilton, moved to Leitrim at the age of 75, acquired goats, and started making cheese in a converted hay shed. Her daughter, Gypsy Gifford, and her wife, Richelle South, joined the venture in 2021, bringing their expertise and passion for artisanal food production. The creamery specialized in raw-milk goat cheeses and is committed to sustainability, using no chemicals and practicing responsible land stewardship. They engage with their community through initiatives like "Thursdays at the Hill," offering farm tours and cheese-making classes. Through their dedication to quality and tradition, Leitrim Hill Creamery has become a beacon of artisanal cheesemaking in Ireland, blending heritage with innovation to create products that celebrate the flavors of County Leitrim.
