Dairy
Do you know the difference between homogenisation and pasteurised milk?
Homogenised milk is any milk “that has been mechanically treated to ensure that it has a smooth, even consistency”. It is often heat treated. Homogenised milk is long lasting because a lot of the fat molucles have been disposed of in the process. We think this takes the goodness and flavour away and that is why we support local, traditional milk producers.
​
Milk alternatives come at a food mile cost. Coconut and rice travels thousands of miles for example. Shop local and be sure where your food comes from.
Supporting your local farmer supports your local economy.
Steve at Street Farm Dairy has retired and our milk is now supplied by another local farm, Plurenden Manor Farm.
The farm is managed by a large family who are all committed to a fully sustainable and natural environment, whilst being as efficient as possible. One of their core values includes for cows and calves to stay together for the first few weeks, not just hours.
The best milk, cream, creme fraiche, butter, milkshakes and more comes from happy healthy cows that are allowed to graze all summer & are fed home-grown forage through the winter.
