Raw Milk is untreated milk that goes straight from the cow direct to the cooling tank and then bottled for you on site. It is cooled down to a temperature of below 3 degree celcius within minutes of the cow being milked. Raw milk has not been homogenised or pasturised.  It has many health benefits that can not be found in pasturised milk. It is one of the richest sources of raw protein, contains lots of vitamins and minerals, amino acids, healthy fats and pro-biotics for gut health. The food facts website gives you plenty of information about the pros and cons of drinking raw milk (You can find more about it by clicking here).

Raw milk is simply the most natural form of milk that has many health benefits as it contain lots of good bacteria which is something that is lost during during the pasteurisation process. Raw milk is an unpasteurised product as a licensed raw milk provider we voluntarily test our milk regularly to make sure the milk is safe to use. If milk ever comes back with any elevated markers then we remove it from sale immediately. So you know that we only sell the best quality of milk available. Our cows are Organic (regulated by OF&G) so receive the best care and attention to make sure they produce the best milk possible. We also use the highest hygiene standards in our parlour and bottling plant to ensure you only receive the highest quality milk. Raw milk is regulated by the Food Standards authority and does come with a health warning (please see product information). Our milk leaves the cow, heads to the chiller tank and across to the bottling plant all on site.​We recommend all customers who wish to drink Raw Milk review the FSA guidelines on Drinking Raw Milk -    Raw drinking milk | Food Standards Agency

Raw milk must be kept at a refrigerated at a temperature below 3 degrees Celsius. Please consume within 5 days of purchase. Raw milk can also be frozen- it is best to defrost it over 48hours in the fridge and give it a good shake before opening.

As an Organic Dairy farm we are regulated by OF&G. The dairy cows have high welfare standards and graze on organic pasture meaning we use no pesticides. They are also fed only organic feed when housed inside and when required receive the best veterinary treatment from our in house vet.  Our Milk is always organic, however our beef whilst organically fed is not certified. Others meats we sell are higher welfare rather than Organic. In our Fruit & Veg shop we offer a selection of both Organic and non Organic produce.

Homogenised is a process where the cream in milk is shaken in a special way to break down all the particles so that they can not rise to the top. Raw milk is famous for getting a creamy layer on the top as it will settle when left to stand. If you don't wish to get a creamy layer simply give your milk a little shake before serving.

Pasteurisation is a process that milk goes through to reduce the number of pathogens found. The milk goes through a heat treatment which kills all bacteria (both bad and healthy) and then it is quickly cooled again ready to be bottled. It is a requirement for any milk bought away from a farm to be pasteurised as it will also extend the shelf life. Raw milk is unpasteurised.
