Welcome to Abel & Cole - the best seasonal organic food delivered to your door
Abel & Cole's dairy farmer
Nick and Christine Gosling have supplied our milk for years...
Name:
Nick & Christine Gosling, Berkeley farm
Produces:
Full fat, semi-skimmed and skimmed organic milk and cream, organic butter and luxury pouring cream.
Some more info:
Nick and Christine Gosling produce our golden organic milk from their much-loved herd of Guernseys. They graze in wild flower meadows and on the greenest grass in the same Wiltshire valley in which Nick's father and grandfather raised their Guernsey dairy cows.
The Goslings have spent time learning all about cow psychology, and treating cow illnesses homeopathically; Christine milks their cows at 4.30am and 3.30pm. It takes Christine about 2 hours to get through the whole herd and she always gives them a quick health check - any signs of something wrong and she'll treat the symptoms with some herbal infusions. Christine knows that each cow is different too, and sometimes she might have to choose one remedy for Elizabeth but a different one to treat the same symptoms in Bentley Mountbatten Marmalade.
Something you might not know:
They play Classic FM to their cows in the milking parlour so they're nice and calm.
Name:
David and Marian Harding, Court Lodge Farm
Produces:
Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie, Apple & Blackberry Yogurt Smoothie and Bio Pouring Yogurt
Some more info:
It's truly a family affair down at the Court Lodge Farm in Sussex, where the Harding family have been making organic smoothies for the last 6 years. David runs the farm and looks after the cows. Marian, who creates the delicious smoothies and yogurt, makes everything in her converted barn just behind the milking parlour.
Part of their farm is a nature reserve rented from the Sussex Wildlife Trust and they're involved in the management of the land for its bird life, plants and insects.

When we came to visit, David was playing the Beach Boys in the milking parlour for the cows.
