Lancashire Farm free range yogurt

Since the early 1980s Lancashire farm has been producing yogurt, using only natural and locally sourced ingredients. When they got in touch to ask if I would be interested in trying their new Lancashire Farm free range yogurt brand I was, of course, extremely interested to find out more.

Having always made sure to check for free range chicken and free range eggs it suddenly occurred to me that I never really thought about if my yogurt was free range. As my yogurt consumption is quite high it probably is something I do need to be thinking about. If milk is the only ingredient in my yogurt then, where does the milk come from? How are the cows kept? are they free to roam the fields or not? Do they have a good quality of life?

First free range yogurt

Lancashire Dairies has opened up my eyes. But more importantly they have introduced me to their lovely yogurts – which by the way are rich, creamy and everything I would hope for in a yogurt. Particularly the Free range Greek style yogurt, which is so thick and luscious you would be forgiven for thinking it was freshly whipped double cream. Honestly, this yogurt could be used as the filling for cakes!!! – not a bad idea actually!

As the producers of the first free range yogurt, Lancashire Dairies really aren’t messing about. They are really doing everything by the book with natural ingredients, quality and taste tests and even a Grazing Guarantee. Their Grazing Guarantee ensures that their cows are free to roam the fields at least 150 days of the year.

Lancashire Farm Rochdale

Lancashire Farms use free range milk from a range of local farmers who all benefit from selling free range milk. The Lancashire Farm website talks about how farmers save money on feed and bedding and also receive a premium price as a thank you for embracing free range on their farms. The website also has a great slogan of ‘Happy cows make great milk’. – which makes me smile

The taste test

So what about the taste of the actual yogurt. – The proof is in the pudding after all!! Lancashire Farm provided me with 3 of their free range yogurts: Greek style yogurt, Natural bio yogurt and Fat free natural yogurt. Along with this was a plethora of toppings and sauces to help make the yogurt-tasting extra special. Chia seed, coconut and vanilla syrup was a definite hit and I wouldn’t be in any rush to say no to having granola and chocolate chip again
