The calf-friendly, cow-kind micro-dairy!
Producing milk humanely and with compassion
"you can taste the kindness"
Welcome to our pioneering micro-dairy. founded on a firm belief that dairy cows should keep their calves until their natural weaning age. We put welfare before profit, because health, happiness and the ethical treatment of animals should always come before profit!
six years ago Fiona Provan took two incompatible & contradictory terms (in the conventional farming world) 'Cow with calf at foot' and 'dairy', she married the two together 'calf at foot' and 'dairy' - This is how the original 'Calf at Foot Dairy' was born!!
After many years of hard slog, criticism and being told "it can't be done", Her micro-dairy was finally launched officially at The Aldeburgh Food and Drink Festival September 2012.
"I never believed the cow was here to produce milk for us people, no I think it's for her calf, but every day cows in conventional systems are suffering, so i decided to have a go at making the world a better place for dairy cows." Our beautiful little herd of Jersey cows spend their days munching their way through their ‘purely pasture’ diet and producing lots of lovely creamy milk which we share with their calves. We have formed a symbiotic relationship with our cows - we are they and they are us!
This gorgeous raw Jersey milk can be delivered via mail order all over the UK or bought directly from the farm at any time (Self Service - open 24/7) but, make sure you leave time to wander in amongst the girls - they are very welcoming and don't mind showing off their calves.
We are delighted to find there are more and more compassionate and considerate consumers who share our desire to make the world a better place for dairy cows and are happy to pay a fair and proper price for humanely produced, proper milk..
We also train and help other would be calf-at-footers set up their own Cow-Kind, Calf-friendly micro-diaries and youngsters are always welcome for training and preparation for entry into a great new world of responsible, regenerative and ethical farming.
