Hayling cows' milk is perfect for delicious iced milk | Lawrence Murphy
Just across the bridge onto Hayling Island you will find Northney Farm.
There are 120 mottled brown and white Ayrshire cows and the beauties produce 6,000 litres of milk, per cow, each year.
Some of the milk is made into ice cream which can be tasted at the farm’s tearooms.
The farm originates from the 1930s when allotments and smallholdings were brought together.
It is bordered by marshland which is carefully maintained by the farm, along with large strips of uncultivated land which encourages wildlife. The farm has created a walk for people to enjoy this area. It is great to do before visiting the tea rooms where you can buy milk for this recipe.
