A NEW milk vending machine has opened in Herefordshire and is taking the public by storm and even attracting people from neighbouring counties to visit.

Whole Moo World is a dairy farm based in Bodenham which has come up with a new way to diversify farming.

Just two miles away from its farm is a vending machine at Saffrons Cross Garage, in A417 Gloucester Road, where bottles of fresh milk from the past 24 hours are ready for customers to buy every day.

A spokesperson said supermarket milk often travels many hundreds of miles and can take days before it arrives in store.

“Not only can you grab the freshest milk in town, but you can also turn it into milkshakes - thanks to our technological skills – a healthy, nutritional and sustainable drink,” said the spokesperson.

The farm’s cows are free to roam their pastures or lie down in a huge open straw yard rather than being housed in cubicles.

The family run business started up from scratch in 2021 with robotics and an ethos of making all decisions based upon what the cow would want.

“This is something we should be proud of in Herefordshire with our rich agricultural background,” said the spokesperson.

“It is something that is hoped might encourage other farmers across the country to adopt as we all push to better welfare for our animals and countryside.”
