freshest milk in the country??

Hi

Just need to gauge a reaction for an idea i've had recently, not exactly reinventing the wheel!

I live on a dairy farm and am currently thinking of processing the milk on farm instead of sending to the creamery, and bottling in the old style glass bottles, which i feel people would love to use again.

Milk you buy in the supermarket can spend 3 days in a tank on the farm, a similar amount of time lying in the creamery and then transported to supermarkets where it could be lying on a shelf for days. realsitically speaking the milk you get from the supermarket could be 10 days old by the time you use it.

My thinking is that having my own processing plant, i could have the product processed on farm and delivered to the customers door within 12-24 hours of milking from the cow guaranteeing the freshest milk in the country.

the milk will be pasteurised (killing the bacteria) but not homogenised(breaking down the cream content).

The plan is to create a delivery run around my loacality to distribute it.

Any feedback on what you think of this food product would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yeah, and then they put 10 or 14 days on the best before date!:eek: I would love to able to get locally produced milk - from one farm or maybe a local producers group.

I love this idea and would definitely prefer this to the supermarket option.

Sorry folks - this forum is not to be used for Market Research purposes. If that were allowed we would be overrun by every Tom, Dick & Harry with an 'interesting' business plan. That would detract from the true nature of the forum - discussing Food & Drink.
