Artisan and small scale food producers face big hurdles dealing with the law, which is complex and ever changing and carries big bills when you get it wrong. What may seem reasonable for industrial and commodity food producers becomes a heavy and unreasonable burden for the small scale food producer.

This is where Artisan Food Law comes in to provide support and help navigate a way through the minefield.

The Raw Milk Revolution

It has been striking to note the rise in recent months of the number of dairy farmers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who are turning to the direct sale of raw drinking milk.

In March this year there was a total of 114 producers of raw drinking milk registered with the Food Standards Agency (FSA), a figure which has now risen to 158, an increase of almost 39% in a little over six months.

The decline in milk prices and increased production are seen as drivers for the growth of raw milk vending machines across Europe. Many see these machines as helping farmers steer through the dairy crisis by providing an alternative route to market at a more favourable price. Are we entering the Golden Age of raw drinking milk?
