Milk MaidsHoney farm in Bolton4.8 (1314 reviews)Milk Maids is an award winning family dairy farm at Over Hulton in Bolton, where the family has cared for the land and the cows for over 70 years. Milk from their own herd is bottled daily and sold either pasteurised or raw, and it also goes into their handcrafted gelato ice cream, with 24 flavours that change every month.
The farm shop sells the milk and ice cream alongside free range eggs from Staveley's Eggs, and you can order online for click and collect. The shop is open six days a week, closed on Tuesday, and opens a little earlier for anyone just after milk and eggs.Forster's Farm ShopFarm shop in Wigan4.8 (22 reviews)Forster's Farm Shop is run by a fifth generation family of organic farmers who have lived and farmed on the estate surrounding Haigh Woodland Park in Wigan for 60 years.

Alongside their own meat they make sausages, burgers and dry cured bacon, and stock free range chicken and pork, organic vegetables, dairy products, cheeses, artisan jams, relishes and chutneys. The shop sits in the Kitchen Courtyard at the park and opens Tuesday to Sunday.Plane Trees FarmRaw milk farm in Bolton5 (7 reviews)Plane Trees Farm is a family run smallholding at Ainsworth near Bolton, begun with the simple goal of being as self sufficient as possible and sharing any surplus with the local community. The flock takes in Shetland, Wensleydale and Zwartbles sheep, kept alongside a herd of British Toggenburg dairy goats.
From the goats' rich, creamy milk the farm makes handmade soaps and cheeses. An online shop is launching soon, and in the meantime the produce is sold through local stockists, with news and updates on the farm's social media pages.Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
