April 2025

It was great to see so many of you at Turn Out Day on Easter Bank Holiday Monday. We were blessed with the weather! The cows jumped around and played, and one tonne Big Billy, despite his old age, is still the boss!  It was wonderful seeing so many people enjoying the farm and having a great day out.

We are increasing our milk round product prices and delivery charge from the 1st of June. Our dairy produce prices are increasing by approximately 5% across the board. This is the first price increase since May 2023, so it represents a 2.5% increase per year for the last two years. Our delivery charge per drop is also increasing to 65p per drop. Again, it is two years since this was last increased. We are trying to keep our increases to a minimum, but need to increase our prices otherwise our business is threatened with not being viable with rising costs. It is a conundrum, as simultaneously, we don't have enough raw milk to supply all the enquiries we are getting to go on our milk round, and are having to turn potential raw milk customers away. We still need to increase our production, but haven't got the land to do it!
