We supply Davis family diary who in turn supply local dairies. Our milk is particularly in demand by the Asian community as it is the ideal base ingredient in many Asian recipes.

Jersey cattle are compact and docile. They are an ideal complement to the diverse activities on our farms. Grazing in our fields they keep our green belt green.

They are very inquisitive and playful.
