FROM LOCAL FARM TO YOUR FRONT DOOR
Have you ever wondered where your milk comes from?
Our milk has a very local journey — and we’re proud of it.
230 Holstein Friesian cows
Our milk comes from one local herd on one farm in Leeds.
Robotic milking
The cows are milked using modern robotic milking technology.
Bottled right beside the milking robots
The farm produces and bottles its own milk, with the bottling plant located next door to the robotic milking stations.
Collected by us every day
We collect the milk directly from the farm in our own electric vans.
Stored locally
The milk is kept refrigerated in our commercial fridge before being delivered the following day.
Delivered to your doorstep in glass bottles
And we now have 5 electric delivery vans bringing your milk and dairy products to your door.
Compare that with the typical longer milk supply chain, where milk can be collected from multiple farms, transported by milk tankers to a central bottling plant, bottled, transported again in large diesel vehicles to commercial fridges.
Our journey is simple:

And by choosing us, you're not just buying milk — you're helping support local farming and keeping a working Leeds dairy farm going.
The farm also generates around 85% of its own energy through its wind turbine, solar panels and anaerobic digester.
