Locally Sourced Dairy Suppliers
Direct Milk is your trusted dairy supplier, dedicated to championing British and local produce. With over 90% of our product range sourced from UK suppliers, many of them beloved family-run businesses, we take pride in supporting our local communities. Let's highlight two exceptional examples: For over two decades, Tims Dairy, run by the four Timotheou brothers and located just 15 miles from our depot, has been a reliable dairy supplier, providing us with delectable, top-tier yoghurts. Longley Farm, a family-run business based in Holmfirth, Yorkshire, is another valued dairy supplier. They excel in delivering exceptional soft cheese and a range of other high-quality dairy products.
