Farm Backgroud: 250 acres of Beef and sheep (including sheep milk cheesemaking). Millairies is a mixed beef and milking sheep farm, where we grow some crops to feed the calves and sheep. We turn all our milk into cheese on farm and buy in some organic cows milk and some goats milk. The farm now produces as much as it did before it was organic in the 90's.We have been using local rock dust to remineralise and adding to our dung to help produce a compost with added value. Our new project for 2013 includes two wind tubines linked to local community. For more information, please visit our website: www.gallowayfarmhousecheese.co.uk
