Our Farmers Dairy: Milk & Cheese

Dairy - Cheese & Milk - Morrisons Farming

Milk

All our fresh milk is British, and supplied by a group of 105 aligned Morrisons farmers, all based in the UK.

In addition to Red Tractor standards, we have our own higher welfare requirements which include best practice support on managing animal health and welfare, the environment, staff development, business health and efficiency and linking farms with the local community.

All information is anonymously benchmarked and shared for improvements within the group, and farmers meet up throughout the year for practical workshops to help share information on key topics, as well as having access to newsletters and a dedicated farmer portal for further knowledge exchange.

 

Case study

Ian Barker from North Hill Farm looks after 150 cows on his family farm, along with his wife and 3 sons. The cows produce over 1.3 million litres of milk every year which comes straight to Morrisons after being put into containers at his local Arla processing plant.

Through the ‘Milk for Farmers’ scheme and its associated premium, Ian has invested in grass plate meters, tracks and training to help improve the health and welfare of his animals.

Cheese

Much of our fresh cheese is British and supplied by farmers based in Dumfries and Ayrshire selling to Lactalis.

Farmers meet twice a year for practical workshops to help share information on key topics, as well as having access to newsletters and a dedicated farmer portal for further knowledge exchange.

Rory Christie

Rory Christie's family have been farming Dourie Farm on the West Coast of Scotland for hundreds of years. Dourie Farm sits beside the sea, making it the perfect location for his cows to live a free-range lifestyle. The milk from Dourie Farm is sent to Lactalis in Stranraer, where it then goes into a range of our own brand cheeses.

Cheese for Farmers

We give 34p per pack back to the farmer for every 350g block of cheese you buy, which you can find here.
