At Gullivers Farm Shop & Kitchen, our organic biodynamic grass-fed milk is much more than a product on the shelf. It represents daily commitment, quiet pride, teamwork, and the incredible care shown by the people we support who work alongside our farm team every single day.

This year, that dedication has been recognised with a Great Taste 2-Star Award, an achievement we are incredibly proud of — not just for the quality of the milk itself, but for what it says about the people and values behind it.

Recognition for Care, Not Perfection

The Great Taste judges described our milk as:

“Rich and creamy, with a full, rounded mouthfeel… clean, pure, and naturally sweet, with a fascinating hint of saltiness.”

But behind those tasting notes is something far more important to us: consistency, patience, and high standards of animal care, carried out day in, day out by a team that includes adults with varying support needs.

This award is recognition that care matters — and that when people are supported properly, they produce work of exceptional quality.

The People Behind the Milk

Our milk is produced through a shared routine that many of the people we support are deeply involved in. From early-morning checks and feeding, to cleaning, observing animal health, bottling, labelling, and delivering the milk to the farm shop — every stage is an opportunity to build skills, confidence, and pride.

For many, this work provides:

A sense of purpose and responsibility
A connection to animals and nature
Real, meaningful employment skills
Visible outcomes they can proudly point to and say, “This is our milk.”

Holding a bottle of milk with a Great Taste star on it is a powerful moment — because it reflects their work, not just ours.

High Welfare, Every Single Day

Our biodynamic, grass-fed approach places animal welfare at the centre of everything we do. The people we support play an important role in this — learning how to read animal behaviour, understanding routines, and recognising when something isn’t quite right.

This relationship with the animals fosters empathy, calmness, and respect. The cows are known, not just managed. Their wellbeing is talked about, checked, and valued — and that care is directly reflected in the quality of the milk we produce.

A Team Achievement

This award belongs to everyone involved:

The people we support who turn up, learn, and take pride in their work
The farm team who mentor, guide, and work alongside them
The wider Gullivers community that believes in inclusive, values-led farming

It is proof that high-quality food and inclusive employment go hand in hand — and that when people are trusted with real responsibility, they rise to it.

Looking Ahead

We see this achievement not as a finish line, but as encouragement to keep going. To continue developing skills, deepening knowledge, and producing food that reflects care, integrity, and community.

Every bottle of our organic biodynamic milk tells a story — of people, animals, land, and shared effort. And this award is a reminder that those stories matter.

Thank you to everyone who supports our work, chooses our milk, and believes in what we are building together.
