Following the fantastic success of our Your Co-op Conversations forums last month, we are hosting much-loved local supplier Jess’s Ladies Milk on 1st July. It’s your chance to hear Jess’s personal story and how our Food stores helped out during the pandemic last year while being one of our local suppliers.
Featured in James Martin’s Saturday Kitchen on a number of occasions, their whole milk, which they call breakfast milk, flies off the weekly stall at nearby Stroud Farmers’ Market, its taste as good as identical to that of its raw state. The creamy yogurt contains no added sugar or stabilisers, and the kefir comes in both “skinny” and full-fat versions. Chefs love Jess’s Ladies’ cream not only for its taste but its viscosity and tendency not to split in cooking.
Some of their products:
-
Organic Milk's (Breakfast, Whole, Semi, Skimmed)
-
Extra thick cream, Double, Single
-
Buttermilk
-
Kefir
-
Natural Yoghurt
Being a supplier of Best of Our Counties since 2017, many of the products are sold at farm shops and within our Food stores in the South-West and Midlands, Jess now also caters for larger online kefir orders too.
