Thanks, that's really interesting. Do you still milk?No, I was selling raw milk. A lot of hoops to jump through but I’d had some decent past experience of milking and cow management and the dairy inspector could see that. (The main problem came when I moved the mobile parlour to a different linked holding, as it was the original holding and not the parlour that was approved....!! Effectively it meant I would have had to go through registration again from scratch, and could produce milk for consumption until I’d passed! Fortunately my dairy inspector was blessed with lots of common sense and we found a way round it.
The drawback was all my land at the time was on grazing licences so I couldn’t put a vending machine anywhere. I was selling some at the front door and a lot as mail order, packed in ice and couriered for next-day delivery
