The Farmer's Dairy

We provide raw full cream milk from grass-fed cows. We respect the rights of informed consumers to insist on enjoying the pure goodness of milk as nature intended.

Cairnbrogie is a family-run farm which was established in 1973. The dairy farm was started in 1985 which has grown from a small herd of 40 cows to more than 500 over 30 years. Andrew Hill and his family have lived on the farm for the past 16 years and have put much time and energy into this beautiful piece of land and developed the farm into a multi facited business. The cows live in, and graze on, vast lush pastures. They are 80% grass-fed on a variety of grasses ensuring the production of high quality milk.

Raw milk from grass-fed cows has an even higher nutritional value than raw milk from grain-fed cows or regular milk. In addition it usually contains phytonutrients such as carotenoids, isoflavones, and lignans. The type and quantity of grasses consumed determines the composition of phytonutrients present in the milk. An advantage of grass feeding is that it is organic and not genetically manipulated. Furthermore, the risks of compromised or contaminated feedstock are eliminated entirely.

Cairnbrogie and The Farmers Dairy bottles milk on the farm using a cold purification process instead of heated pasteurization. Cold purification which replaces heat pasteurization with a simple ultra violet technology ,which effectively cold purifies milk. It deactivates, bacteria and other unhealthy micro organisms in milk. It is a non-thermal process where there is no destruction of the enzymes and proteins in the milk resulting in a healthier product which releases natural vitamin D, calcium, enzymes and protein. We use up to 95% less energy to process our milk which results in a smaller carbon footprint than ordinary milk making it ‘greener’ to produce.
