At Woodlands Dairy, our commitment to quality and sustainability begins at the source. Initiated in 2013, the Woodlands Dairy Milk Standard (WDMS) sets rigorous criteria for our producers, the dedicated farmers who supply us with high-quality raw milk. This standard is integral to our "Grass to Glass" philosophy, ensuring that the journey from dairy farms to your home reflects excellence and responsibility at every step, marking more than a decade of commitment to excellence.
Our management is committed to upholding the highest standards of dairy farming by ensuring compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements. Through regular audits, ongoing training, and a clear definition of responsibilities and authority within farming operations, we reinforce our commitment to the WDMS. Effective management and communication are essential in delivering high-quality raw milk reliably.
We maintain essential resources, including competent human resources and sophisticated infrastructure, to support our high standards. Our staff, trained in the best agricultural practices and hygiene management, are key to maintaining these standards. The wellbeing of farm workers and adherence to the "Five Freedoms" of animal welfare are prioritised to ensure a safe and ethical working environment.
Milk production is meticulously planned to meet stringent quality requirements. This includes careful adherence to good agricultural practices, regular validation, and testing of raw milk to ensure safety, quality, and traceability from the farm to the processing plant.
Sustainability is at the core of our operations. We strive for environmentally friendly farming practices to ensure the longevity and sustainability of our natural resources. This commitment extends to managing pastures, conserving water, and protecting land resources, integrated into every aspect of the WDMS.
The WDMS is more than just a set of standards; it is a commitment from Woodlands Dairy to our consumers, ensuring that the milk you enjoy is produced responsibly and sustainably. By overseeing every phase meticulously, from sustainable pasture management by our producers to the final product, we guarantee that our milk is not only delicious but also ethically produced.
At Woodlands Dairy, we take pride in our transparent and rigorous approach to dairy farming, setting the stage for a trustworthy and sustainable milk production process that you can rely on.
