Dairy farming is a type of agriculture used for the long-term production of milk, which is processed (at a dairy) for the sale of a dairy product. This volume concentrated on cheese production, looking at different varieties and how they are traditionally produced.

Contents include: "Cheese-Making", "Cheddar and Cheshire Cheese".
