Nick Snelgar writes about his ongoing experiences starting a small dairy, Maple Field Milk, in Great Britain. Follow along with his story about Maple Field Milk.

For the first time since 1980 you will be able to buy fresh milk and cream from a small holding in Martin, Hampshire.  

In 1980, Higher Farm gave up the ghost and the last cream dribbled out of the ancient hand-driven separator. The rattle of buckets and the tireless milking routine ceased and the last farm in the Parish stopped producing milk.                                  

But now we are back. At least, I am back – Nick Snelgar – herdsman. I have founded a new milk business called Maple Field Milk with the express object of milking a small herd of cows and providing ‘doorstep’ milk for those who want it.
