Raw Milk Returns from 10th June – Please Pre-Book Early
We are delighted to be resuming raw milk sales and would like to thank our customers for their continued support.
As a biodynamic farm, we carefully balance our herd size with what the land can naturally support. Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. Our farming practices include once-daily milking and allowing calves to remain with their mothers, rather than separating them at birth.
Our Jersey cows are from Original Population bloodlines, a rare and traditional breed valued for producing exceptionally rich and nutritious milk. While these practices result in lower milk yields than conventional dairy systems, they allow us to maintain the highest standards of welfare, sustainability and quality.
Demand for our raw milk continues to grow, and we are grateful for the enthusiasm shown by our customers. However, in order to uphold our farming principles and maintain the quality of our milk, we are unable to increase production beyond what our herd and land can naturally support.
We understand that our raw milk is priced higher than many conventional alternatives. However, our pricing is not driven by maximising profit, but by ensuring that these farming practices can continue while delivering exceptional quality milk that is true to our values.
To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend pre-booking your milk in advance whenever possible. Please note: We do not issue collection reminders.
Thank you for supporting a farming system that puts animal welfare, biodiversity and quality first.
Please also see our bottle cleaning and return instructions below to help us maintain our reusable bottle scheme.
