“We are aiming to increase people’s awareness of the option to support dairy farming by buying milk direct from farms - not always an option, I realise, but in our case we now have a milk vending machine open seven days a week, where the customer can purchase fresh pasteurised milk for only £1 per litre,” said Katharine.
