Mae Llaethdy Gwyn, sydd wedi'i leoli yn hen eglwys Gatholig y dref, yn gwireddu breuddwyd i'r cyn\-ecolegydd glaswelltir sydd bellach yn wneuthurwr caws crefftus sef Dr Carrie Rimes, a ddechreuodd gynhyrchu ei chaws llaeth defaid, Cosyn Cymru, yn 2015\.


Mae Carrie bellach yn berchennog ar fenter laeth sy'n tyfu a’i nod yw elwa i’r eithaf ar y gofod sydd ar gael mewn adeilad o’r 1960au tra'n cadw elfennau o dreftadaeth grefyddol yr eiddo.


Mae caws Cosyn Cymru yn cael ei wneud â llaw mewn sypiau bach gan ddefnyddio llaeth heb ei basteureiddio a dulliau traddodiadol. Caiff y cynnyrch eu gwerthu mewn siopau annibynnol a delis, caffis a marchnadoedd ac mae Brefu Bach hefyd yn cael ei werthu gan y manwerthwr enwog Neal's Yard yn Llundain.


Mae'r cyfleuster newydd ym Methesda wedi cael cefnogaeth gan Gynllun Buddsoddi mewn Busnesau Bwyd Llywodraeth Cymru a Chyngor Gwynedd.  

Mae Cosyn Cymru hefyd wedi elwa ar y gefnogaeth a gafwyd fel aelod o Glwstwr Bwyd a Bwyd Diod Cymru a hwylusir gan Menter a Busnes, gan dderbyn cyngor busnes a mynychu digwyddiadau.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig a Gogledd Cymru, Lesley Griffiths:



> Mae wedi bod yn wych gweld y datblygiadau yma yn Llaethdy Gwyn ac i glywed am lwyddiant Cosyn Cymru.  Maen nhw wedi llwyddo i dyfu marchnad ar gyfer cynhyrchion llaeth defaid, ac mae'n dda clywed sut maen nhw'n defnyddio llaeth defaid lleol o Ogledd Cymru.
> 
> 
> Rwy'n falch bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi gallu cefnogi'r llaethdy newydd hwn a hoffwn ddymuno'r gorau i Carrie ar gyfer y dyfodol.


Dywedodd Dr Carrie Rimes:



> Mae'r cymorth dwi wedi ei gael wedi fy ngalluogi i greu'r llaeth a thyfu fy musnes \- gan gynnwys cyflogi staff ychwanegol wrth i'r gwaith cynhyrchu gynyddu \- fyddwn i ddim wedi llwyddo i ehangu heb y fath gymorth.
> 
> 
> Mae'r Clwstwr Bwyd Gwych wedi cynnig cymorth arbennig i fi. Rydw i wedi cael cyngor busnes defnyddiol iawn ac wedi mynd gyda nhw i Wobrau Caws y Byd, a gynhaliwyd yng Nghasnewydd fis Tachwedd diwethaf, lle cwrddais â llawer o bobl a hyd yn oed helpu i groesawu dirprwyaeth o Norwy.
> 
> 
> Rydw i hefyd wedi ymuno mewn partneriaeth gyda Cadwyn Ogwen, sef gwasanaeth dosbarthu bwyd lleol ac mae gen i amrywiaeth o gynnyrch lleol yn y siop.


Cafodd Carrie ei magu ar fferm ei theulu yn Nyfnaint a’i breuddwyd oedd gwneud caws a gwnaeth ei hymchwil mewn siopau delis a chaws Cymreig nodi’r galw am gaws llaeth defaid.


Dywedodd Carrie:



> Roeddwn i'n gwybod mai’r hyn roeddwn i wir eisiau ei wneud oedd cynhyrchu caws llaeth defaid, ond bryd hynny, doedd neb yng Ngogledd Cymru yn godro defaid. I ddechrau, roedd yn rhaid i mi gasglu llaeth o Swydd Gaerhirfryn. Erbyn hyn mae gen i bedwar ffermwr lleol sy’n darparu llaeth ar fy nghyfer, mae'r mamogiaid yn rhydd i bori'n naturiol a chynhyrchu llaeth iach a maethlon. Rhyngddynt, maen nhw'n godro mamogiaid Llŷn a Friesland, felly mae gen i gyflenwad llaeth trwy'r flwyddyn.


Mae Gwobrau Bwyd a Ffermio 2023 y BBC wedi cyhoeddi pwy sydd wedi cyrraedd y rownd derfynol eleni ac mae Carrie Rimes a Cosyn Cymru ar y rhestr fer yng nghategori’r Cynhyrchydd Bwyd Gorau.


Meddai cyflwynydd The Food Programme ar Radio 4 y BBC ac un o’r beirniaid, Sheila Dillon:



> Bob blwyddyn, mae’r cyhoedd yn enwebu’r cynhyrchwyr gorau o bob cwr o Brydain ac nid yw eleni’n eithriad. Yn ogystal â bod yn wneuthurwr caws ardderchog, mae Carrie’n dangos rôl bwysig busnesau bach o ran cadw ardaloedd gwledig yn fyw a meithrin system fwyd gydnerth.


Cyhoeddir yr enillwyr mewn seremoni yng Nghasnewydd ddydd Mercher, 25 Hydref.

Llaethdy Gwyn, based at the town’s former Catholic church, is the realisation of a dream for former grassland ecologist turned artisan cheese\-maker Dr Carrie Rimes, who began making her sheep milk cheese, Cosyn Cymru, in 2015\.


Now the owner of a growing dairy enterprise, Carrie plans to make the most of the space afforded by the 1960s building while retaining elements of the property’s religious heritage.


Cosyn Cymru’s cheese is made by hand in small batches from unpasteurised milk and using traditional methods. Sold at independent shops and delis, cafes and markets, the dairy’s Brefu Bach is also stocked by renowned retailer Neal’s Yard in London.


The new facility in Bethesda has had support from the Welsh Government’s Food Business Investment Scheme and Cyngor Gwynedd Council.


Cosyn Cymru has also benefitted from the support afforded as a member of the Food and Drink Wales Fine Food Cluster, facilitated by Menter a Busnes, receiving business advice and attending events.


Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales Lesley Griffiths said:



> It’s been great to see the developments here at Llaethdy Gwyn and to hear about the success of Cosyn Cymru.  They have succeeded in growing a market for sheep’s milk Products, and it’s good to hear how they are using local sheep’s milk from North Wales.
> 
> 
> I’m pleased the Welsh Government was able to support this new dairy and wish Carrie the very best of luck for the future.


Dr Carrie Rimes said:



> The assistance I’ve received has enabled me to create the dairy and grow my business – including taking on additional staff as production increases – I would not have managed to expand without such help.
> 
> 
> The Fine Food Cluster has been great. I’ve had very helpful business advice and went with them to the World Cheese Awards, held in Newport last November, where I met many people and even helped host a delegation from Norway.
> 
> 
> I’ve also partnered with Cadwyn Ogwen, a local food delivery service and have a range of local products in the shop.


Brought up on her family’s farm in Devon, Carrie had always wanted to make cheese and her research in Welsh delis and cheese shops identified a demand for sheep milk cheese.


Carrie said:



> I knew what I really wanted to make was ewe’s milk cheese, but at that point, no one in North Wales was milking sheep. Initially, I had to collect milk from Lancashire. I now have four local farmers supplying my milk, the ewes are free to graze naturally and produce healthy and nutritious milk. Between them, they milk Lleyn and Friesland ewes, so I have an all\-year\-round milk supply.


The BBC Food \& Farming Awards 2023 have announced the finalists in this year’s Awards and  Carrie Rimes and Cosyn Cymru are shortlisted in the Best Food Producer category.  


Presenter of BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme and BBC Food and Farming Awards judge, Sheila Dillon said:



> Each year the public nominate the very best producers from across the UK and this year is no exception.  Carrie is demonstrating not only exemplary cheese making but also highlighting the key role that small businesses play in keeping rural areas alive and in building a resilient food system.


The winners will be announced at the ceremony in Newport on Wednesday 25 October.
