Lovely, peaceful place. The cows are beautiful creatures who seem to genuinely love attention and care. Took my best friend cow cuddling for a birthday treat and she loved it. Had a wonderful time. Pod was cosy and comfortable.

Went along today to the cow cuddling experience for my birthday and was great! Had such a wonderful time meeting all the cows who were all so gentle and interesting. They all have such different personalities that it was a real pleasure to spend so much time with them and its clear they are loved and cared for and are living their best lives. Everyone at the farm was lovely. Lucy was so sweet when she greeted us, and Dom very kindly put up with our endless questions. He was so calm around the animals and was so accomodating to anything we wanted to know or learn (thanks again for showing us the bio fuel tank and the greenhouse that was so cool) and it was clear everyone there really cares about what they do! If you get the chance, please go along and support this project, it's a lovely group of people in a lovely place! (also if you're a bird fan, lots of birds were spotted on the drive in) Thank you all, and hopefully see you soon!
About the farm
Ahimsa Eco Farm is a not for profit slaughter free dairy at Pilton in Rutland where calves stay with their mothers, selling raw and pasteurised organic pasture milk, gouda style cheese and ghee.
Ahimsa Eco Farm at Pilton near Oakham in Rutland is home to the UK's first slaughter free milk. The farm follows the traditional Indian principle of ahimsa, meaning non violence, so no cow, calf or bull is ever killed, calves stay with their mothers and the herd until naturally weaned, artificial insemination is avoided, and the cows graze freely on organic pasture and are partially milked by hand.
The milk is delivered to customers weekly and there is a long waiting list. You can support the herd by becoming a member, sponsoring a cow, or booking a cow experience, from cuddling and brushing to feeding and hand milking, and the online farm shop sells cheese and merchandise, with glamping pods at the farm too.
