Watch the process involved in milking organic dairy cows.

I’m not from a farming background, so it’s important for me to educate people on the process behind what’s in their glass.

My husband Tom and I milk 370 cows which calve in the spring and autumn, using a mixture of Friesians, Jerseys and Shorthorns – our cows are bred for longevity, milk solids (fat and protein for cheese production) and their ability to convert grass into milk without needing lots of concentrated feed.
