OUR GOAT’S MILK

Our milk is gently pasteurised and it is totally unprocessed in any other way. Delightfully fresh, straight from our goats’ here at Bradley Farm. Goats’ milk tastes great. It’s unique composition makes it rich and creamy yet refreshingly light – just like great milk should be! Goat’s milk contains important nutrients that support good gut health and the normal function of your immune system. It is also packed with 4 x more prebiotics than cow’s milk! Typically it contains less lactose than cow’s milk, which may help to explain why some people who experience sensitivity to lactose can enjoy goats’ milk.

Our self-service vending machine allows customers to buy our fresh un-homogenised milk straight from the honesty shop on our farm. You can purchase one of our re-usable and dishwasher safe 1 litre glass bottles which once thoroughly washed and sanitised can be brought back as many times as you like for a refill.

We have a delicious selection of milkshake syrups, these syrups complement our milk and make a great tasting treat.

BENEFITS OF GOAT’S MILK

More of us are increasingly aware that cows’ milk may not suit us and have started to seek an alternative that is better suited to the needs of our body. Goats’ milk is nutritionally closest to cow’s milk than other alternative’s and yet it has certain physical properties that set it apart which may impact on digestibility and health. Many people who perceive they have issues with cows’ milk can drink goats’ milk without any problems, and even say that their symptoms (such as eczema, asthma, bloatedness, constipation, digestive discomfort and catarrh) are reduced or go away altogether.*

*If you have been diagnosed with a cows milk allergy take advice from an allergy consultant or allergy specialist dietician.

DIFFERENT PROTEINS & FATS

Whilst the fat content of goats' milk is similar to cows' milk, the fat globules are much smaller in size. The protein composition of goats' milk also allows it to form a softer curd during digestion which may assist with your digestive health and comfort.

LESS ALPHA-S1-CASEIN

Protein is essential for the growth, development & repair of the body. However, research indicates that people's intolerance of cows milk is often due to the proteins, in particular Alpha S1-casein. Although goats milk is a source of high-quality protein, goats milk has lower levels of Alpha S1-casein than most cows milk, which is one of the reasons some people may tolerate it better.

LOWER IN LACTOSE

Goats' milk typically contains slightly less lactose than cows milk and the amount of lactose people can tolerate varies. This may help to explain why some people who experience sensitivity to lactose can enjoy goats' milk without any repercussions.

PREBIOTIC

Goats' milk has more oligosaccharides (non-digestible crabohydrates) than cows milk with a similar amount and structure to those found in human milk. These may act as prebiotic's in the gut and could help to maintain the health of the digestive tract and gut microbiome, by encouraging the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
