Bryce Cunningham: proving there is another way<\/p>\n
A dairy in Ayrshire has joined forces with three farms across northern Scotland to meet growing demand for organic natural milk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mossgiel Organic Dairy is now taking supply from three other dairy farms as a platform for expansion across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joining Mossgiel are Auchlea Farm in Kingswells, Aberdeen; Wester Manbeen, near Elgin, and Connage Highland Dairy in Ardersier near Nairn.<\/p>\n
The partnership grows Mossgiel\u2019s capacity by more than 10%.<\/p>\n
Third generation farmer Bryce Cunningham began his sustainable farming business in 2015 where Robert Burns lived and ploughed the fields.<\/p>\n
Mr Cunningham said: \u201cFor too long, our industry has just ticked along with the same system, same rules, same outcome; the slow death of small farms. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve spent years proving there\u2019s another way, and now we\u2019re stepping fully into that space, not just shouting from the sidelines, but taking it on directly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jill Clark of Connage Highland Dairy said: \u201cThis new Mossgiel and Connage relationship is a fantastic collaboration between Burns country and us as Highlanders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Callum and Jill Clark: proud<\/p>\n
\u201cBryce and the team will take our excess milk after our cheese production and, having been let down by our previous milk wholesalers, we are so excited to be working with Mossgiel.<\/p>\n
\u201cBryce\u2019s enthusiasm and business acumen has given us a new spring in our step, and we very much look forward to seeing what the future holds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Auchlea Farm\u2019s Allan Clarke added: \u201cWe\u2019ve been producing organic milk for more than 25 years, and this\u00a0partnership allows us to keep doing what we believe in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve long admired what Bryce and the Mossgiel team have built. They\u2019ve flown the flag for independent dairies like ours and proved there\u2019s a better way forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be part of that journey and to work with a Scottish business that shares our values.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs milk buyers get bigger, producers lose connection and collaboration in the race for efficiency and lower costs. That model simply isn\u2019t sustainable, especially for organic farming.<\/p>\n
\u201cJoining the Mossgiel Collective gives us the chance to build something fit for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mossgiel\u2019s trailblazing \u2018low and slow\u2019 brewing method put its name on the map back in 2016. The gentle, low-temperature pasteurisation process that preserves the milk\u2019s natural structure, flavour and cream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The equipment to do this, initially, didn\u2019t exist, so the team built their own bespoke milk brewery.<\/p>\n
With sustainability at the forefront of the expansion, Mossgiel was also the first dairy in the UK to go single-use plastic free in 2019, delivering in glass bottles and reusable containers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
