Our History:
1830's
Henry Hawkswood was the first of the family to start farming the land.
He had a small herd of 18 short horn cows, which he milked by hand, as well as keeping hens and pigs. The land was mainly used to farm corn.

His son George then took over, keeping the hens and pigs he added to the current dairy herd which took him up to 24 cows which were milked by machine, keeping the main use of the farm purely for growing and harvesting corn.
In 1972 at the age of 18 Clive Hawkswood took over from his father George, seeing potential in the milking industry he added to the livestock and started to buy Friesian cows.
2020, now with a herd of over 200 Holstein cows, the farm continues to supply the local area with a variety of milks and cream.
In the 1980's, the farms next big move was installing the processing plant. This enabled the family to have full control of production and ensuring only the highest quality products left the farm.
