A dairy where cows raise their own calves

The Little Dairy is a small, independent cow-with-calf dairy. Our calves stay with their mothers until they wean naturally, and our herd grazes organic pasture on land we have spent ten years bringing back to life.

Our story

Ten years of looking after the ground

I started The Little Dairy in 2017 because I wanted to try a different approach to dairy farming, one where the calves stay with their mothers and the cows share their milk with us.

It is my own independent business, run from the land I have been regenerating for the past ten years with holistic and organic principles, one patient season at a time.

Over those years the soil has darkened, the hedges have thickened and the wildlife has come back. The cows are part of that work. Their grazing feeds the soil, and the soil feeds them.

I'm Casha. I look after the herd, walk the fields with visitors, and write about what the land is teaching me.

Look after the ground, and the ground looks after everything else. Casha Bowles-Jones

How we farm

A different approach to dairy

Cow & calf

Calves stay with their mothers

Calves stay with their mothers from birth until they wean naturally at six to twelve months, depending on the bond between each cow and calf.

Once a day

Milked once a day

We milk once a day, so there is always plenty left for the calves. We take less milk, and our cows live a calmer, more natural life.

Organic

Organic and 100% pasture fed

Our cows eat grass and forage from certified organic fields, with no artificial fertilisers or sprays. That's better for them and better for the soil.

The dairy

Coming spring 2027

Our first dairy products from the herd will be ready in spring 2027. Small batches from a small herd, made from milk the calves have happily shared.

Follow along on Instagram or the blog to hear when they're ready.
