From Field to Fridge: How Your Support Is Growing Our Herd (and So Much More)
There’s something incredibly special happening at Gullivers—and it’s all because of you.
Over the past year, our fresh, biodynamic, grass-fed milk has become a much-loved staple for many of you in the local community. We’ve been blown away by how quickly it sells out—sometimes faster than we can get it from the field to the fridge! And while that’s an amazing problem to have, it’s also meant that some customers have gone home without any milk, which we never want.
So here’s the exciting news: we’re growing our dairy herd!
Thanks to the overwhelming support of our local community, we’re investing in more dairy cows to increase our milk production. These beautiful animals will be raised on our biodynamic pastures with the same care and principles we’ve always followed—healthy soil, happy cows, and honest food. But as with all good things in farming, this takes time. It will be around 13 months before our new cows begin producing milk that makes its way into our shop. We’re asking for your patience—and continued support—while we prepare for this next chapter.
Why Buying Local Milk Matters
In a world of supermarket convenience and mass production, choosing to buy local isn’t just about taste—it’s a powerful act of connection. When you choose our milk, you’re not just supporting our cows or our farm. You’re investing in a vision of food that is:
Sustainable – Our cows graze on organic, biodynamically managed pasture, building soil health and supporting biodiversity.
Transparent – You know where your food comes from, how it’s produced, and who it supports.
Community-led – Every purchase is a vote for local jobs, rural traditions, and ethical food systems.
More Than a Farm—A Social Enterprise with Heart
Gullivers isn’t just a farm. We’re part of Sturts Community Trust, a working farm and social enterprise where adults with varying support needs are at the heart of everything we do.
From milking the cows to bottling and delivering the milk, the people we support play a vital role in this process. Their contribution is not just valuable—it’s essential. Through meaningful, hands-on work, they gain skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging. And your choice to buy our milk helps sustain that opportunity.
When you buy a bottle of our milk, you’re not just supporting local agriculture—you’re supporting people. You’re saying yes to inclusion, yes to opportunity, and yes to a model of farming that uplifts everyone involved.
Looking Ahead
We want to be honest with you: until the new cows come into production, there may still be the occasional day when our milk sells out. We know it’s disappointing, and we’re working hard to create consistency. But please bear with us, knowing that a brighter, more abundant future is on its way.
Your support has already taken us this far—and with your continued help, we can go even further.
So thank you. For buying local. For believing in small farms. For choosing milk that means more. This is your story too, and we’re honoured to share it with you.
