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!
