Our Roots
How we started out...

Abbey Farm Dairy is situated in the picturesque, flint walled village of Binham, North Norfolk. The Dairy is home to a herd of over 100 Pedigree Holstein Friesian Cows. They graze the lush meadows in and around the village, some of which surround the beautiful village priory.

In the last 10 years, making a living from producing milk has become very difficult. Farmers William and Alex Wales decided that if they were to continue producing the milk that they loved, they would need to diversify. Inspiration was taken from Fen Farm Dairy in Bungay and their Raw milk revolution and they purchased a raw milk vending machine.

Since 2016, Abbey Farm Dairy has been selling Raw Milk directly from the Dairy. The raw milk became so popular that they saw an opportunity to offer a wider range of locally sourced dairy produce alongside their raw milk.

In 2018 a grant was provided by the European Agricultural Fund for rural development, giving them the opportunity to covert part of the old barns into a dairy shop. They can now provide their wonderful customers with milk, cheese, butter and a hot drink made with their raw milk.
