All Things has completed an equity investment into Yester Farm Dairies to drive cottage cheese production.
The investment in one of its key supply partners will fund upgrades in machinery, increase production capacity and create a stronger platform for innovation.
This would strengthen supply security and support future innovation, while enabling Yester Farm Dairies to expand production capacity and accelerate its growth plan, it said.
The brand said the investment reflected its commitment to British farming, with the company’s entire supply chain and production based in the UK.
It added that it marked the first step in its vertical integration strategy and reflected a shared ambition to build a stronger, more resilient British dairy.
The move comes after All Things secured £3.6m in its latest funding round led by The Equity Studio with support from Access Industries and Active Backers.
“From day one, our ambition has been to build a modern British dairy brand rooted in quality, provenance and long-term thinking,” said Toby Hopkinson, co-founder of All Things. “Yester Farm Dairies shares that vision. This investment is about more than scaling production – it is about investing in the infrastructure, partnerships and supporting a family-owned business that will help shape the future of the category.”
Yester Farm Dairies, run husband-and-wife team Simon and Jackie McCreery, started producing cottage cheese for All Things in December 2025.
All Things said the two businesses shared the same ambition for the category and saw a significant opportunity to modernise the space through elevated quality, innovation, and building a connection with shoppers.
“All Things has brought fresh energy into the category and connected with a younger, more food-engaged consumer in a way that is genuinely exciting,” said Simon McCreery, founder and managing director of Yester Farm Dairies. “Their ethos of supporting the primary producer really resonated with us as farmers ourselves and we see real value in partnering with a business that combines cultural influence with a clear commitment to product quality, innovation and long-term category growth.”
Both businesses are also invested in the farming community, with All Things donating 1% of revenue to RABI – the Farmers Charity. Yester Farm Dairies supports RSABI, which provides practical, emotional and financial support to those working across Scottish agriculture.
