Where to Buy Raw Milk Near Me (UK Guide)

Searching for "raw milk near me"? Genuine raw drinking milk can be harder to find than ordinary milk, because of how it's allowed to be sold. Here's how to track down the real thing in the UK.

First, the rules (they shape where to look)

In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, raw drinking milk can only be sold directly by a registered producer — never through a supermarket or ordinary shop. So you won't find it on a shelf; you have to buy it from the farm or its own outlets. (It's banned for sale in Scotland.) Full detail in is raw milk legal in the UK?

Five ways to buy raw milk

• At the farm gate. Many registered dairies sell direct from the farm or a farm shop.
• Farm vending machines. Some farms have a self-service raw milk machine on site.
• Farmers' markets. Look for the dairy's own stall — we're at Borough Market and London markets.
• Doorstep rounds. Local dairies that run their own delivery, like our East Sussex rounds, bring it to you in glass.
• Online, by courier. A producer's own online shop can post it chilled — we courier across England and Wales.

How to check it's the real thing

Genuine raw milk will always carry the Food Standards Agency warning that it is unpasteurised. If there's no warning and it's on a normal shop shelf, it isn't raw drinking milk. Look too for a named farm, organic certification and grass-fed credentials.

Questions worth asking a producer

• Are you registered and inspected for raw milk sales?
• Is the herd grass-fed? Is the farm organic?
• How soon after milking is it bottled?
• Do you deliver to my postcode, or can I collect?
