Our journey developing ‘barista milk’ in response to tough times
As a family farm marketing their milk locally that had increased cow numbers, the recent tumult in dairy markets represented an existential threat. Collaboration with a London based coffee entrepreneur turned our fortunes around. It took the vision of someone from outside the industry that wasn’t subject to the industry wide ‘stuck in a rut’ thinking that milk was just milk to help us see the opportunities that exist. Without the pressure and fierce competition in the market it is unlikely we would have invested in innovation and business wouldn’t be as good, which is another interest topic of conversation.
