New plans for local milk

-

Msp Brian Whittle has been celebratin­g the latest success of farmer Bryce Cunningham and the milking team at Mossgiel Farm in Mauchline.

During a tour, Brian saw the bottling facility and was introduced to the ‘ Mossgiel girls’, the farm’s 80 strong herd of cows.

Following a hugely successful crowdfundi­ng campaign to eliminate single use plastic from their business, the organic dairy farm has now begun making home deliveries using glass bottles.

tired of supplying milk to huge industrial dairies for a painfully low price, third generation farmer Bryce decided to take a different, more sustainabl­e path. the farm is now one of only three certified Organic dairy farms in ayrshire and supplies its milk directly to consumers and local businesses such as cafes and coffee shops.

Brian said: “With more people becoming aware of the impact that plastic has on our environmen­t, I’m delighted to see an ayrshire farm leading the way and I look forward to seeing how Mossgiel and other farms across the region continue to develop and grow in the future.”
