Dairying has taken place at Bradfields Farm for over 100 years. A full account of our dairy history is available on our Bradfields Farm history page. The farm is at Burnt Mills Road, North Benfleet, near Wickford, SS12 9JX and our Holstein Fresian cows graze the grass pastures around the Farm.
In 2017 we started to produce milk, cream, cheese and yogurt on the Farm using only our freshest milk. We set up a small shop where you can purchase all of our products every day from our vending machines. No food miles involved. We also have a coffee machine in the shop. This vends fresh coffee made with fresh Bradfields Farm Milk of course.
You can also buy our products at local farm shops and cafes and at weekly London farmer’s markets. Every four weeks through the summer we also have our own farmers markets at the Farm.
In 2024 we are expanding our dairy operation to Downham Hall Farm at Castledon Road, Downham. CM11 1LG which has a similarly rich history of dairying. It was farmed for many years by Michael Thomason and we are proud to be recommencing dairying there with our young stock and some farm gate sales.
