I had a great evening in The Hornbeam Cafe on Friday night and got chatting about Yummers to a guy who works there. We were talking about local milk vs UK milk from the supermarket.
A couple of summers ago, when I first started Yummers I looked into the possibility of using milk from a dairy about 5 miles from me (my closest one) as it seemed the obvious choice and I was aware that supermarkets use milk as a loss leader and pay farmers a pittance for their product. But when I got into working out costs and time, it seemed too expensive and would take too much time to collect.
But my consience has been pricked again and I am going to go to the local dairy tomorrow to investigate the possibility of Yummers ice cream becoming a more locally local product.....watch this space!
