Absolutly fantastic what this Dairy has to offer. Real Raw Milk products and a fantastic owner.
The Rare Dairy is a wonderful organic haven tucked away in the Shropshire countryside, run by a farmer passionate about her pasture-fed cows & calfs, ensuring they live their best & happiest life. I was lucky to go on a 5 day raw-mik cheese making workshop at the farm...which completely changed my understanding of farming and the importance of using raw milk for cheese, yoghurt & kefir. The organic raw milk is creamy & delicious, and the organic raw milk kefir & yoghurt are a real treat! The organic soaps & skin creams are soft on my skin..no more ezcema! Friends love the skin creams & tins of lip balms left on their pillows as welcome gifts when they come to stay. Looking forward to trying the tisanes & elixirs that Becky makes too! Becky takes every care to source sustainable resources and packaging, with no plastics used on the farm. Watch out for the Rare Retreat shepherd's hut, ideal for a few nights stay under the stars in an idylic rural setting. And with the new beehives & honey bees just arrived, we've got some gorgeous honey & honeyomb to look forward to later this year. Well done Becky!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Beautiful farm, cattle and farmer! The milk, kefir and paneer were delicious. I love the face cream and I’d love some more!
Raw milk and products. Lovely set up. Organic raw milk, delicious and not messed with. You can see the cows too, which are so well looked after. X.
Becky and her team are doing great work with animal welfare and care for their environment. They have a very caring cow and calf milking system for their herd, and they make lots of tasty raw milk produce, although you have to be quick as it is popular for those in the know. They avoid using plastic, so meat from their herd is packed innovatevely in card. They also make herbal teas and other things, which are very nice.
Mooooved to the area a few months ago. I found Becky’s amazing milk online. We have ours delivered by their electric van 😊 we have also taken a few items of beef. The joint was brilliant, strong flavours, as it should be. Also the burgers. But the hotpot and dumplings are out of this world!!!!!. Just what you need after work on a cold dark winters night with a pile of mash. What Becky does is truly amazing. Cows being looked after in the best possible way and all the money going straight into the pocket of the hard working farmer. Not a supermarket in sight! Keep it up, we love your ethos and products.
What a lovely discovery The Rare Dairy is! Hidden away in a neighbouring village, I must have passed by thousands of times not knowing or even guessing of its existence. Becky the friendly and knowledgeable owner is totally committed to an organic and natural method of dairy production that I didn’t dare to hope existed in the 21st century. The exceptional quality of the produce is testimony to the thought, love and care that clearly goes into every element of activity at The Rare Dairy and I thoroughly recommend their products.
Hidden Gem! This place really is a hidden gem, located deep in the Shropshire countryside surrounded by nothing but fields. Becky, who is lovely, introduced me to her cows, I got to stroke a cow and a calf which was an amazing experience, the cows are so peaceful and happy in their environment. I bought some milk, and some kefir and the syrup, all of which is absolutely delicious and I will definitely be back for more! If you're in the area I would definitely recommend that you pay Becky a visit!
