Our cows and calves live together as one herd, all day, every day.
We use only the milk not wanted by the calves to craft our kefir on-site at our family farm in Gloucestershire.

Better Together: Sharing Dairy™
Our ladies are our most treasured business partners. We know the story behind every drop.
Within minutes of leaving our ladies their organic milk is beginning its transformation to becoming bottles of fresh unhomogenised award winning Kefir.
Made fresh to order onsite at our idyllic family farm in Gloucestershire in our own dairy it is then ready to head to retail shelves and homes all over the UK with our next day chilled delivery service.
Our Sharing Dairy™ approach goes way beyond organic standards.
Every bottle of kefir is made to order using the excess milk after the calves have had their fill. We are proud of every drop.

“Great consistency, with glorious farmyard and lactic aromas. This feels like cream and is silken in texture. The ferment is perfectly judged, and the flavour runs from creamy milk into cheese tang and then back to the creaminess. Utterly delectable and clearly made with as much love as you give your cows.”
