Who we are
About the farm
Our family dairy farm is at Benenden in Kent: the Manford family settled at Hinxden Farm in 1930 with 6 cows, and today the third and fourth generations – Richard and Dee Manford and their daughters – work here. Our two pedigree herds of Holstein and Guernsey cows number 250, and we grow our own grass, maize and cereals for feed. We pasteurise and bottle the milk on the farm and make cream, yogurt and crème fraîche, while our cheeses and butter are made from our milk by the Cheesemakers of Canterbury. With seven refrigerated vans we deliver to homes within 10 miles of the farm in returnable glass bottles and supply cafés, restaurants, shops and schools across Kent and East Sussex.

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.
