Grass-Fed Herds

FREE TO GRAZE ON IRELAND’S GRASSLANDS

Our grass-fed milk is sourced from the lush, rain-nourished pastures of Ireland’s South West, produced to Bord Bia Grass Fed standards and our suppliers’ rigorous standards of care.

What Grass-Fed Means To Us

A DIET THAT
MAKES FOR THE
BEST DAIRY

The Grass Fed Standard measures the proportion of cows’ diets from grass. Verified through independent audits, it demonstrates that Irish dairy in the South West of Ireland is predominantly pasture-based, a system widely recognised as one of the most sustainable forms of milk production.
