A Welsh cheesemaker founded five years ago has announced it cannot continue.

A Welsh cheesemaker has announced it cannot continue in its current form. Suppliers to Mona dairy on Anglesey have been told that an interim buyer for their milk has been found.

A Welsh cheesemaker which described itself as innovative and with the highest sustainability standards has announced it cannot continue in its current form. The 321 farmers who supply milk to Mona dairy on Anglesey have been reassured that an interim buyer for their milk has been found, while the dairy's owners search for new investment.  

The Campaign for National Parks and the Alliance for Welsh Designated Landscapes has produced a 10-point National Parks Action plan for the new Welsh government. 

The proposals include increased funding, an end to water pollution, improving sustainable travel links and a new National Park for North East Wales. 

Amidst fears over reduced numbers of earth worms across the UK, one farmer who supplies them to gardeners, is increasingly supplying to other farmers.
