Ballinrostig Homestead is owned and run by wife and husband team Michele Cashman and Stephen Bender.  

In 2014 Michele and Stephen renovated and moved into Michele’s family home in the village of Ballinrostig near Whitegate in beautiful East Cork. As part of the revamp, they transformed the old garage into a small purpose-built dairy which was intended for making cheese as a hobby. In 2015 they started to sell commercially and within two years they both had left their careers to meet the growing demand for their delicious cheese.
