Running a milk round definitely hasn’t all been plain sailing 😅🥛

Over the last six years we’ve made some brilliant decisions… and also some absolutely terrible ones 🤦‍♀️

(That diesel van we bought after retiring our first vintage electric milk float still gives us nightmares… honestly think it cost us more in repairs than it ever did actually delivering milk 😫)

But despite the breakdowns, stupidly early mornings, steep learning curves and occasional “what on earth are we doing?!” moments… we wouldn’t change it for the world 💛

What really changed everything for us was a simple Facebook post at the start of the first Covid lockdown.

The response completely blew us away and suddenly showed us that there really was a huge demand for fresh local milk deliveries and for supporting local family farms 🥛🐄

Then just SIX weeks later, we rolled out of the farm delivering our own pasteurised milk for the very first time 🚚

Bottled in our own little shipping container right outside the milking parlour… using a vintage milk float we’d bought off eBay 😅

Looking back now it all feels slightly mad.

But that one viral Facebook post gave us the confidence to properly take the plunge and commit to building our local milk round, expanding the team, — and since then it’s gone from strength to strength ✨

Now, six years on, we’re delivering thousands of litres of milk every week to homes, cafés and businesses across the local area using milk from our own cows here on our fifth-generation family farm 🚜

And honestly… none of it would exist without our loyal customers. Hands up if you’ve been with us since that first week?!

Every order, recommendation, social media share and kind comment genuinely helps support British farming and our family business more than you probably realise 💛

So from all of us — thank you.

Today we hosted our very first school trip of the year here at Bennetts Farms — and what a lovely visit it was! 🐄🥛

We welcomed a fabulous group of young adults with SEN from the Heart of Worcestershire College, and they absolutely loved their time on the farm. They learnt all about where milk comes from, how we care for our cows, and even got to meet some of the girls up close… with one finally agreeing to a little touch right at the very end! And they even helped improve Makaton sign language for it own little girl with SEN 🐮✨

Seeing the cows being milked in the parlour is always such a wow moment, helping visitors make the connection between the animals with the food we all enjoy every day 🥛

We absolutely love hosting these visits and sharing a little insight into British farming and dairy life 💕

We’re now fully booked for school trips this summer and September, but dates for next year will be released in January — so watch this space! 🌱

When you support our Milk Round, you’re doing so much more than simply buying fresh milk.

You’re supporting local families, local farming, and helping independent businesses continue doing what they love every single day 🚜🥛

When you order from us, you’re not only supporting our family dairy farm where we care for and milk our cows ourselves, but you’re also supporting other fantastic local family businesses too — including a local chicken farm supplying fresh eggs and a local bakery baking delicious bread and treats for our deliveries 🥚🍞

Here’s why supporting local businesses makes such a difference:

• Your money stays within the local community
Every order helps support local jobs, local families, and other small independent businesses nearby.

• You help protect British farming and food production
Supporting local farms helps keep British farming alive for future generations and reduces the need for food travelling hundreds of miles.

• You receive fresher, more personal service
From fresh milk bottled locally to friendly doorstep deliveries, local businesses genuinely care about the products and service they provide.

• You are making a really positive step in making more sustainable food choices as your food has very few food miles attached to it

We know there are lots of choices when it comes to food shopping, so every single order, recommendation, and share really does mean the world to us and the other local businesses we work alongside ❤️

Thank you for supporting local.

If you are an existing customer of ours and love your milk and local produce deliveries, please do shout about it with your friends and families, and give this post a share. I really do see a boost in new customer sign ups when our current customers help spread the word - thank you! 💖

Farm life at its best, right? It was already past the kids tea time and I looked out across the yard to see Curly (Daddy Pig) enjoying himself, a little more free range than he is supposed to be. And then you see all his sons running around, scattered around the farm like marbles. 🫣

Cue a full Bennett Family effort to get the pigs back where they were supposed to be. Thanks for helping, kids! 🥰

Curly had managed to lift the gate to their paddock off its hinges 😂

A bit of a milestone day for us today 🥛🙌

We made our very first deliveries in Droitwich this morning — somewhere you’ve been asking us to deliver to ever since we started our milk round six years ago!

So to everyone who placed an order… thank you. We really hope you’re enjoying your fresh milk today 💛

And now for the biggest news of all…

I actually went out on the milk round myself for the first time in about TWO YEARS 😅🚚
Happy to report I survived the 3am alarm clock … and (just about) remembered what I was doing 🤪

It felt pretty special being back out there, seeing it all in action again and delivering to a brand new area, almost ) years after we first started doing this 💕

Here’s to many more Droitwich deliveries to come 🐄🌿

If you’d like to join our Milk Round team with milk fresh from our own cows you can find out more andcreate your account at www.BennettsFarms.co.uk/milk-deliveries

We deliver across Worcester, Malvern and now Droitwich 🐮

A family walk around the farm this morning 🌿

It’s amazing what a bit of Proper Rain can do… and last night, we finally had it. Not just a quick shower, but the kind of rain us farmers love — steady, soaking, and long enough to actually make a difference 🙌

We’d started to get a little worried. Grass has been slow, and for this time of year that’s pretty unheard of. It’s not often you find yourself wondering how long your grazing is going to last in spring.

But today, everything just feels different. The fields are greener, fresher, and you can almost see the farm breathing a sigh of relief 🌱

The grass is growing again, and our girls will have plenty to keep them going for another block 🐄

Sometimes it really is the simple things… and today, it’s rain 🥰
