We have been getting milk from Acorn for almost a year-we find their milk,cream, butter tastes so much better than other milk. The company has wonderful customer service. We visited the farm and it was both interesting and fun to see the calves, cows, milking palours and bottling area aswell as seeing the vast fields the cows were in. Plus we get the milk in glass bottles-very retro and much better for the environment (and milk taste) than plastic bottles. Wonderful organic milk

This family-run organic dairy business is fantastic. They deliver to your door 3 x a week and not only do they deliver milk, but butter and cream from their herd of happy cows. Other organic produce can also be ordered and delivered. Not only the taste and quality of their products is good, but the fact that they look after their herd so well and allow the calves to stay with their mothers longer than in conventional dairies. We also receive interesting weekly messages about the environment and they are also concerned about the surrounding wildlife. A thoroughly organic business. It was so good, the local hospital now purchases their milk, as tests in a local laboratory proved it to be superior to the standard milk on sale.
