The supplier farms range in production between 350,000 and over 4 million litres of milk per year. The dairy employs about 200 to make an annual 6,700 tonnes of cheese in 60 varieties. Exports account for about 20 per cent of its sales, which came to some £54 million in 2008. The firm now makes about 65 per cent of the 9000 tonnes of Stilton cheese sold.
