Our Vision
At Highfields Farm we strive to create
-
A place where the cows come first
-
A place where people want to come to work
-
A place where we farm in a way that makes us proud
We produce milk and beef while prioritising animal welfare and sustainability. Housing 1200 Holstein cows, we embrace practices that ensure a healthy environment for both our cows and the people who work here. Our focus on efficiency and care allows us to deliver produce that is not only nutritious but also responsibly produced.

Our Vision stems from our Values
A place where the cows come first
We are a home to around 1200 milking Holstein cows and around 1000 youngstock
Our cows are at the heart of our farm.
We believe our facilities are the best there are for housed cows. But we don't rest on our laurels, each year investing in improvements where we can.
We continually monitor our performance, not only for production, but for health and welfare measures which we feel are important for our cows' welfare and happiness.
Our staff are trained in stress-free cattle handling. We have a zero tolerance to any cruelty towards our cows and calves, and we expect considerate, kind behaviour towards our animals at all times.
A place where people want to come to work
We are a workplace for a team of over 20 people
Working with great people is the reason for our success.
We aim to provide working conditions that surpass the industry standard.
Prioritising the health and safety of everyone here - workers, visitors and guests - is a non-negotiable.
We want people who work here to enjoy what they do and we believe in helping everyone reach their potential.
A place where we farm in a way that makes us proud
We produce nearly 15 million litres of high quality milk every year
The word "average" isn't in our dictionary; we want to be the best.
We aim to be class-leading in our production efficiency; in the image we present to others; in our progressiveness and in the way that we innovate.
Looking after the countryside and the wider environment is important to us too. We want our farm and land to be kept neat and tidy, as well as being environmentally sustainable.
What makes us proud? In short, it is about having great people, producing top quality milk whilst ensuring excellent animal welfare and being at the forefront of dairy farming in the UK yesterday, today and tomorrow.
