the dairy

Jo cutting the curd

For the Ffarm, the exciting prospect of building our new Dairy Complex, is truly ‘the knees of the bee’.  

Originally, we had hoped to adapt the original dairy building - a beautiful, ancient, stone Long barn, which used to house the milking parlour for old Ieuan’s cattle, - for our own enterprise: however, modern EU regulations dictated against such a venture; so we’ve been forced to rethink our plans.

Hi
We feed our puppies goats milk and wondered if we could purchase some from yourseves, and where you are situated
Many thanks

Hi Linda -

at present we only have ten goats in milk; & they are currently being ‘dried off’ prior to kidding, subsequently only a very limited amount of milk is presently available & that only for the next couple of weeks.

We do however anticipate some more milk possibly being available at the beginning of March once kidding commences & prior to licencing our new parlour; albeit again for a potentially limited period as naturally we’ll need every last drop ourselves, for our dairying activites.

Please feel free to drop us a line with your contact details & we’ll be happy to discuss things further with you. We are located in South West Wales.

Ridgebacks are such stunning dogs - & especially yours! Congratulations with Hassle’s achievement as British Breed Record Holder for 2007, what a magnificent canine. And very well done too, for all your other fantastic achievements, you deserve every success! Glad to know your puppies thrive on goats’ milk, it’s great stuff & we’ve never felt better since drinking it ourselves.

Cheers aye,

Jo.

Hiya Poppy -

thanks for the link!

Unfortunately it only applies to projects in England - which seems a bit unfair, as it is National Lottery funding; & I know people in Wales buy lottery tickets too…!

Yah boo hiss but many thanks for trying to help - Tony’s gritted his teeth to lobby our MP as a result.

That’s a bit rubbish, if you do find out why they don’t cover Wales then I’d be interested in knowing too, hopefully it’s just because there is someone else covering you.
