A Milkman and a farmer for most of my career, I’m now able to spend more time with the cows on the farm while Joe takes care of the milk rounds. Hopefully another of my children will come and help with the cows then I can spend more time watching the Rugby!

My name is April, now that my four children have flown the nest my favourite past-time is going to visit them working overseas. I’m a whizz at the company books and in my spare time I love restoring property.

I’m the second eldest of four children, having failed to become an internationally renowned sheepdog trainer with Bess, I’m now responsible for marketing the produce from the farm. In my spare time I enjoy studying innovative farming practices overseas and I’m proud to be an Entrepreneur in Residence at Lancaster University Management School.

Our herd is made up of the Black and White Holstein Friesian breed which has become synonymous with the rolling hills of the Great British countryside, particularly where we are; squeezed between the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Forest of Bowland. They enjoy a diet of luscious grass, maize and wheat, which helps them make our delicious milk.


Welcome to Lune Valley Dairy. Our farm in Farleton is nestled in the heart of the Lune Valley where we have been farming for three generations. As a family farming business, caring for our cows and beautiful landscape is at the core of what we do, as well as producing traceable and delicious dairy products for local people to enjoy.

Our animals graze on luscious pasture...
Working closely with the RSPCA, we are proud of our commitment to animal welfare, so you can be confident about the way we look after our animals. Our animals graze on luscious pasture, giving them the freedom to express their natural behaviour.
Developed by the RSPCA and advocated by Compassion in World Farming, the Freedom Food logo has become the benchmark for keeping farm animals happy. Although less than 1% of the British beef, sheep and dairy herd are produced under Freedom Food welfare standards you can rest assured that John and the team at Lune Valley Dairy Farm are continuing to ensure all their cows enjoy a Freedom Food lifestyle.

STRAIGHT FROM OUR FARM TO OUR CUSTOMERS
At Lune Valley Dairy Farm we specialise in producing high quality, milk products from our own dairy herd.
Consumers today are increasingly concerned about the origin of the food they buy. They want to buy fresh, healthy food that has been produced by careful, sustainable agricultural methods, maintaining the natural beauty of the countryside and habitat for wildlife.
That's why people are rediscovering small, traditional suppliers like us, who sell locally produced food at competitive prices, in line with time-honoured farming methods.
