Farming for the future

Our location on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean means we have a moderate climate, with abundant rainfall that creates lush green grasslands where our herds are free to graze. A long heritage of family farming and co-operative ethos means each generation is deeply committed to nurturing the land as the custodian for the next. We work together with our farmers to create a resilient network of family farms that can evolve sustainably for the future.

Bringing it to life

We believe that knowledge is a powerful tool. Our innovative and collaborative ways of working mean we continue to evolve and upskill at every step along our supply chain. Our team of advisors work closely with our milk and grain producers on a one-to-one basis to bring expert technical advice and share the latest research on core sustainability principles. This ranges from improving soil health to driving energy efficiency on farms. Our commitment to sustainability and quality assurance is brought to life in our world leading Open Source® Programme.

Our environment

We focus on working with our farmers to safeguard the environment by adapting the latest research and knowledge into practical steps taken on our farms. Healthy soils, care of waterways, protecting hedgerows, natural habitats and air quality are vital to a sustainable environment.
