Our Perpetual Calendar
‘Here Come the Girls’ makes a great gift, or why not buy it for yourself! It is A3 in size and features outstanding watercolours by Veronica van Eijk of some of our calves and cows. Being a perpetual calendar, it is a wonderful way for you to remember annual events such as birthdays and anniversaries, not just next year, but every year! The cows are great, have a look!
Who we are
Phil has been on the farm all his life, establishing the herd in 1959 and gaining tenancy in 1972. Stephen is Phil's eldest son and he joined the partnership in 1991.
Our aim is to manage a dairy herd that is truly sustainable; caring for our animals and supporting the wildlife and environment around us, whilst achieving a profit to support our family. We converted the farm to organic farming methods in 1998, achieving Soil Association certification in Aug 2000. This means that we farm without the use of any chemicals or routine antibiotics. The pastures are free of fertilisers and pesticides. This means that our milk is extremely natural and pure. We work with nature, so that our cows are happy in a stress free environment. The national average life of a dairy cow is six years. Our cows' average age is nine!
We sell our milk in glass bottles that can be re-used and recycled. Delivering our milk to the local area means that the food does not have to travel far and our customers know the exact source of their milk. Don't forget, our milk is raw milk, it hasn't been pasteurised or homogenised, and nothing has been added or taken away.
