Dairy & Eggs
Local Milk & Cream Delivered Direct from the Farm
Our full fat and semi skimmed milk is produced just 14 miles on the Burroughs family farm at Aldeby near Beccles. Delivered to us by the farmers themselves, straight after the morning’s milking six days a week, you can be sure that your milk is as fresh as it possibly could be. The farm’s herd of over 400 cows ensure we can never run dry of their delicious creamy milk and in return they are treated to grazing on the open marshes surrounded by the River Waveney.
The Creamiest Cream
And whilst we’re big fans of the Burrough’s milk, we’re even bigger fans of their Raw Cream; you really haven’t tasted cream until you try this!
Free Range Norfolk Eggs
We’re not only looked after by the Burrough’s large herd of cows, but by their chickens too! As free-range chickens they can spend their days wandering around the 30 acres that they are given on the farm which is a mixtures of grass fi
elds and woodlands. They also love to find the puddles when rain comes too! Along with the milk, fresh eggs are delivered to Green Pastures direct from the Burroughs farm 6 days a week.
“Double Yolker” Eggs
There’s normally less than a one in a thousand chance of finding a double-yolker egg, but at Green Pastures you’ll normally find trays and trays of them! Normally the product of young hens at the very start of laying, our double-yolkers from Newton St Faiths near Norwich provide a great talking point, especially as part of your fry-up. Use them just like a normal egg and they are great for an extra special omelette or scrambled egg.
