Who we are
About the farm
Our dairy farm lies near Thankerton in South Lanarkshire, between Tinto Hill and the River Clyde; we moved here in 1996 and began building our dairy herd in 1997. Today we have around 410 Holstein, 8 Jersey and 12 Jersey × Holstein cows, all born and reared here on the farm. We pasteurise our milk at low temperature without homogenising it and sell it as Cows of Covington from the vending machine in The Milk Hut on the farm, open 24/7, into reusable glass bottles, alongside milkshakes and homemade cakes. We run farm tours that can be booked in advance: visitors can watch the milking, have a go themselves and help feed the calves.

Write a review
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.
