Why Choosing Local Milk Reduces Food Miles

Have you ever thought about how far your food travels before it reaches your fridge?

These journeys are called food miles—and the longer the trip, the bigger the environmental footprint.

When you choose local milk, you’re cutting down those miles in a big way. Here’s why it matters:

Fewer Miles, Fresher Milk

Our milk doesn’t travel hundreds of miles in lorries. It goes straight from our cows, through the pasteuriser, and into your bottles within just a few hours! That means fresher, tastier milk for you and your family.

Better for the Planet

Less transport means less fuel, fewer emissions, and a smaller carbon footprint. By making a simple swap to local milk, you’re helping reduce pollution and protect our environment.

Supporting Local Farmers

When you buy local, your money stays in the community. You’re supporting small family farms (like ours!) instead of big companies. That keeps farming alive in your area and helps us care for our cows the right way.

Less Packaging Waste

We us reusable glass bottles. Not only do they look lovely in the fridge, but they also save plastic from ending up in landfill. We can use these glass bottles over and over again.

A Connection to Your Food

Buying local means you know exactly where your milk comes from. You can visit the farm, meet the cows, and feel confident you’re giving your family milk which has not been changed or stuff added.

A Small Change with a Big Impact

Switching to local milk is such an easy choice, but it makes a world of difference—to the environment, to your community, and to your tummy.
