Hoolgrave Manor Farm at Minshull Vernon near Crewe, Cheshire is a family dairy selling raw milk, cream, kefir and creme fraiche direct from the farm gate under the Real Raw Milk name.
Hoolgrave Manor Farm sits on Eardswick Lane at Minshull Vernon, near Crewe in the Cheshire dairy country.
Andrew Hollinshead has lived on the farm all his life and married Lucy in 2005; together they farm around 200 head of cattle, 50 sheep and some hens, with a herd of Shorthorn cross cows behind their raw milk. Their stated aim is to produce nutritious, healthy food, and they treat their soils as their biggest asset, lavishing attention on them and farming without artificial fertilisers.
The farm sells raw cows' milk, cream, kefir and creme fraiche direct from the farm gate under the Real Raw Milk name, which is also the name of its Facebook page. Fresh raw milk is the heart of the offer, with the couple focused on herd nutrition to deliver quality milk straight from the farm to the table.

Top quality milk and other products from Andrew a passionate farmer who is great to have a conversation with and put the world to tights. Excellent service.
Absolutely love this farm and their products. They sell real raw milk along with cheese, kefir, and yogurt, and the quality is fantastic. I normally have lactose intolerance and struggle with regular milk, but I can drink their raw milk without any issues. Everything tastes fresh, natural, and full of goodness. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high-quality, natural dairy products.
Oh my goodness, what delicious raw milk, and so good for you!

Beautiful milk, cheeses and yoghurt. I have found non equal in quality and taste. Going to the farm on Wednesday to meet with the lovely, helpful Lisa is one of the highlights of the week. There is passion, commitment and integrity in every drop.
Amazing products. I absolutely love their raw milk. They also have lovely kefir and delicious yogurt. The eggs come from a different farm but they're also very fresh. What I love about it is that I see the cows and they look so well looked after and happy. Also I use the yogurt to everything, curries, soups or desserts. It's very thick and creamy. You really have to check it out yourself. The farm shop is opened on Wed 9-11 am. And you can also buy their products on Nantwich market. Milk is sold in glass bottles which you can return. The owner dedicated his life to this farm and it shows. The cheese is amazing too 😋. When you drive up the farm you go one lane up to a parking space and then find a building with the apc sign on it. That's the shop. Milk lasts even up to 10 days in summer. It depends on the season. I would highly recommend it.
Wonderful farm with an experienced owner who has spent his life working with cows, it runs in his family on both sides for at least three generations. Speaking with Andrew, I could feel his passion for cows and real dairy. He answered all of my questions about "raw" milk and made me feel reassured and confident in the farm, and the care in it's practices to produce wonderful healthy milk. I will be going to the farm every week now for my milk! Cannot recommend enough!
