Andre has been making cheese all his life and has received a number of awards including five for Highland Organics.</FONT><BR></P> <P> <IMG border=0 alt="" src="http://www.countryvalley.com.au//editimages/andreannievat.JPG"><BR><BR>Our factory achieved organic certification with Australian Certified Organic for processing milk and cheese.  We are audited annually to ensure that we follow all the correct procedures for processing organic mik and cheese.<BR><BR>In 2009 Bill moved his production off-site to his new factory at Moss Vale and decided to go it alone.  Andre and Annie are still with Bill producing their beautiful cheeses.  Country Valley continues to supply Highland Organics' cheeses to all our customers.  <BR></P></FONT> </body>
