Who we are

About the farm

We have been farming at Kinellar in Aberdeenshire since 1989; in 1998 we converted our farm into Scotland's first organic dairy, certified by the Soil Association. Our herd of 150 Friesian and Jersey cows spends as much time as possible at pasture; we pasteurise their milk slowly in small batches in our own creamery and do not homogenise it. Our farm shop's milk vending machines (Scotland's first, installed in 2017) let you fill reusable glass bottles; our gelateria serves handmade gelato, gelato cakes and thickshakes made with our own milk, and our pizzeria serves Neapolitan pizza. Visitors can watch live milking every day at 2.30pm, and we offer free educational tours to schools.
