Our Animals & Products

Livestock & Dairy

Quality livestock raised with care, and dairy products produced to the highest standards of hygiene, welfare, and taste.

Our Herd

Healthy Animals, Quality Produce

The foundation of our dairy operation is the health and welfare of our herd. Our cattle are predominantly Holstein-Friesian, the breed that has defined British dairy farming for generations. These animals are renowned for their milk production capacity, docile temperament, and adaptability to the British climate.

Our cows spend as much of the year as weather permits grazing on the open pastures of Armswell Farm. The chalk downland grasses provide a natural, mineral-rich diet that contributes to both animal health and milk quality.

We work closely with our veterinary surgeons to maintain herd health through preventive care, regular testing, and prompt treatment when needed.

Dairy Operations

From Pasture to Product

Our dairy operation is designed around a simple principle: the best milk comes from healthy, contented cows grazing on quality pasture. From the moment our cows are milked to the delivery of finished products, every step is managed with care, hygiene, and attention to detail.

Milk is collected under strict hygienic conditions and cooled rapidly to preserve freshness and prevent bacterial growth. Our milking parlour is maintained to the highest standards of cleanliness.

We supply fresh milk and dairy products through wholesale channels to businesses across Dorset and the South West. Our products are valued for their quality, freshness, and traceability.
