Who we are
About the farm
We are a traditional family-run, free-range dairy farm in Osmington on Dorset's Jurassic Coast: we have been bottling our own milk since 1983 and now farm 300 acres (about 121 ha) so that we can grow all the feed for our 130 homebred British Friesian and Ayrshire cows ourselves. For more than eight months of the year our cows graze outdoors; the milk is bottled within 24 hours in our processing unit 40 metres from the milking parlour, and we also make clotted, single, double and whipping cream and a variety of ice creams. We deliver our products to doorsteps across many Dorset villages, they can be ordered online, and we also deliver wholesale. In our on-site farm shop and tearoom, The Old Milkery, we also offer local Dorset produce and welcome visitors with breakfasts and light lunches.

How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
