Point is centuries ago we all had goays or cows ourselves and dairy wasn't a conglomerate big biz

Our fault for hanging up our pitchforks !! Seek out raw milk farms

I grew up in a village in the hills of Perthshire and we had a dairy on the main street. It was run by the farmer's family and we could go and get real milk with the layer of cream taking up the neck of the bottles.

Then they moved to cartons with the metal clip holding it closed. Once again, it was all done by hand.

If I remember correctly, more and more rules were introduced, making the dairy financially non viable and it closed and the dairy cows must have been sold or sent to the slaughterhouse.

Horror of horrors essentially

We need to club round and locally crowdfund + support a dairy farm, Jersey is my fave 😋🥛

Good share but confusing = are own brand, private label and own label the same thing or different definitions?

Grahams Dairy cannot take on any new deliveries. This is ridiculous, Bill Gates must be stopped.

So Sainsbury's has changed back to Arla since moving to Muller in February 2024?

https://www.grocerygazette.co.uk/2023/04/21/sainsburys-ends-supply-arla/

"Sainsbury’s has ended a long-standing deal, which saw dairy company Arla supplying a percentage of the Big 4 grocer’s own-label milk.

The change will instead see Müller as the sole supplier of Sainsbury’s own-brand milk from February 2024."
