Meet the farmers

The story of Organic Herd would be incomplete without our farmers. They’re the heartbeat of our herd. 30 years ago, they dared to rewrite the rules of farming, the organic way and to this day remain dedicated to planet positive responsible farming.

Happy #BackBritishFarming Day! We’re big believers in backing British farmers every day of the year, but today, we’re shouting about it a little louder! 📢 Originated by the National Farmers' Union, #BackBritishFarmingDay is the perfect chance to show some love for British farmers - remind everyone why buying British really counts. At Organic Herd, we doing more than just making dairy delicious. We’re committed to making a positive difference for our environment, our animals, and the quality of British produce – all right here on our home soil. 🇬🇧 The best way to support British farming? Buy #BritishOrganic whenever you can. Not only does it boost the economy, but did you know that 71% of the UK’s countryside is managed by farmers? They’re the guardians of our landscape, keeping it beautiful and sustainable for future generations - and the more farms that convert to #Organic, the better! Curious to learn more? Head to the link in our bio for more information about the National Farmers' Union (NFU) and their activities or pop over to our website to find out more about why how we farm matters. @BackBritishFarmingNFU @NFULife
🐄 You’ve heard the phrase ‘you are what you eat’ – well, it’s the same for our cows. If you want high-quality, tasty dairy, you’ve got to start with great grass and soil health. Our farmers work their wellies off to ensure that their pastures stay vibrant, nutrient-rich and nourished, in harmony with the natural biodiversity of the planet. Organic farming captures more CO2 in the soil compared to regular farming*. If every farmer in the UK switched to organic, at least 1.3 million tonnes of carbon would be captured by the soil each year. Anyone tempted? *Source: Muller et al.

You'll want a 'pizza' this! Give your kids a lunchtime treat with a special 'Back to School' recipe featuring our Award-Winning Organic Garlic and Parsley Velvety Cheese. Great for little lunchboxes or peckish adults! Here's the recipe: 1. Preheat your oven to 190°C / 374°F. Grab a pack of your favourite English breakfast muffins. Slice in half, and place on a baking tray. Brush with extra virgin olive oil, and place in the oven until lightly golden. 2. Take the muffins out and spread a generous layer of tomato puree on top. You can add a sprinkle of oregano or basil for an extra kick! 3. Take a wedge of our Organic Garlic and Parsley Velvet Cheese. Cut into uniform slabs, and place on top of your pizza muffins. 4. Grab your topping of choice - perhap some mushrooms, or olives? Scatter over your pizza and season with a generous helping of salt and pepper. 5. Bake for 10 mins, or until melted and dripping!
👀 Pssssssttt - did you know that Organic Herd is a co-operative, fully owned and run by British farmers? From organic practices to regenerative farming, we’re all about doing dairy the right way. And for us, this starts with being a co-operative. Our farmers all collectively share a commitment to pursuing sustainable and organic farming. When our quality milk is crafted into delicious products, all profits are returned to our farmers. That way, we're able to continue to invest in their future - and the planet. Our farms are scattered across the UK, from the depths of Cornwall to the wild Highlands of Scotland. Whilst our homes may be wildly different, we’re united by one common belief - that how we farm matters, and that organic is the way to go.
⏱️ Good things come to those who wait... 🧀 Discover the rich, bold flavour of our Extra Mature Cheddar - expertly aged for over 9 months to deliver that full-bodied taste! 🍷 Pair it with a slice of crusty sourdough bread from your local baker and a glass of your favourite organic red wine. Did you know? @majesticwine has just announced that their sales of organic wine have almost doubled in the last year - three years ahead of target! It just goes to show that organic products becoming increasingly popular - cheers to that!
""Regener-whaa? You might have heard the term 'Regenerative Farming' being bandied about. But what does it actually mean? Generally speaking, 'Regenerative Farming' is all about farming in a way that reduces and reverses climate change by rebuilding soil health and encouraging biodiversity. Organic farming is by its very nature regenerative, meaning that when we farm, we contribute to the environment, rather than exploiting it. Curious in learning more?

📸 Say Cheese! 🧀 We're kicking off #OrganicSeptember with our new spotlight series 'Meet the Farmers' where we celebrate the faces behind your favourite Organic Herd products. This week, we're saying hello to Marian & David of Court Lodge Farm! Home to over 150 Ayrshire and Friesian cows, Marian and David's farm is practically an organic oasis! Unblemished by the usage of no agrochemicals for over 25 years, cows at the farm happily snack on the traditional pastures of the Pevensey Levels. To get a real immersive sense of the work that Marian and David are doing, we suggest you take a look at a recent video created by Natural History and Media graduate Anneke Emery, where she explores Court Lodge Farm and speaks to David about the positive impact of organic dairy farming. If you’d like to view the video, hit the link in bio. To read more about the fantastic positive impact that Marian and David are making to the planet, head to our website and look for 'Meet the Farmers'. @annekes_wildfile

We’re excited to announce another increase in the price we pay to our farmers, setting the standard in the UK organic dairy sector. 📈 This reflects our commitment to supporting sustainable farming and delivering the highest quality milk and dairy products. 🌱 Why is this important? We are giving the up and coming generation of farmers a compelling reason not only to continue farming organically, but also importantly enabling them to progress their businesses. By supporting practices that are better for the environment and animal welfare, we’re investing in a future where how we farm truly matters. 🐄 We are currently recruiting new farmer Members into our milk pool, so if you (or anybody you know) share our passion for organic farming and want to be part of a community that values sustainability and high-quality farming, we’d love to hear from you.
