About Us

Owned by British family farms, we work together to produce the highest quality dairy products and we are united by a single commitment - to enrich life every day to secure the future.

Through the strong, collaborative relationships between our farmers, colleagues and partners, we know we can be regenerative - future-proofing our soil, farms, creameries and communities and making first-rate dairy products whilst we are at it.

Regeneration is a way of thinking. For us, it’s about having a positive impact on the world we live in, whilst producing nutritious, tasty dairy products to feed a growing population. As a co-operative business, this starts with our farmers, who follow regenerative farming practices. But it is so much more than that.

Regenerative thinking extends throughout our business, through our colleagues and our external relationships, resulting in a shared commitment to nourishing the earth and future generations.
