THE PLASTIC QUESTION

Our farm is quite different for a vast amount of reasons, and our carbon footprint is tiny. We bottle our milk onsite in our own dairy - no tankers, no factories. The only journey our milk makes is from our onsite dairy to the shop shelf in our own delivery van.
 

• We grow all our own forage on our farm – not relying on transported bought in feed.

• We do not feed grain and straights – which have taken a huge amount of energy to produce.

• We do not use fertilizers - which releases a tonne of carbon into the atmosphere for every tonne produced.

No packaging is perfect and we deliver using plastic bottles which are made from a high percentage of recycle plastic.

Not bottling in glass means:
We can deliver more from one vehicle without multiple trips due to excessive weight
It is suitable to be sold in a retail situation and transported by customers home
We do not use extra energy in the extensive sterilising facilities required for glass.
​
We hope the way we farm every day, filling our bottles with the most responsibly produced dairy products possible, offsets the negatives of a plastic bottle.
