North West Organic Milk Producers Ltd 

Organic milk has been one of Britain’s most successful sales stories – the consumer market keeps growing and growing, with no sign of slowing down.  So there’s no better time to officially announce the founding of the North West Organic Milk Producers group, after many months of background work.  

The group, at the moment around 20 committed founder members, all organic dairy farmers, is steadily growing. It aims to increase sales, protect producers and promote awareness of organic milk and milk products in the North West.  Funding has been secured for the next few years, and while members will make a contribution to the fund, the group, backed by the main milk co-operatives, expects the small payment will have big results.   Stuart Martin will head up the marketing team, and hopes to mirror the success he’s had with a similar group in Scotland, where sales of organic milk have significantly increased in the last 3 years, proving that there is real power, as well as safety, in numbers.  

The group is keen to hear from any interested producers and processors in the area, and hopes to link up with all like-minded organisations. For more information on joining and the benefits that membership can bring you, please contact Chair Susan Woof on 01539 621 343, or Marketing Manager Stuart Martin on 07796 614 641.
