The white stuff
done right
Milk is precious. It’s been a source of nourishment for humans since time immemorial. Yet today, modern pressures and profit-driven models have led much of the industry down an unsustainable path. It doesn’t have to be done that way — and it shouldn’t cost the earth. Soho Dairy sources directly from a diversity of independent producers around the country, partnering with sustainability-minded farmers, chefs, nutritionists, and the natural world to improve land and herd health, and lower emissions. Vitally, farmers get paid above the cost of production, and customers receive the highest possible quality produce, as well as a chance to invest in a more just and sustainable future for farming.
Soho heritage
Soho Dairy has roots going back to the 17th century, when dairy cows grazed in the very same spot, on the pasture land of Kemp’s Field. When Berwick Street was laid out in 1687 by licence of James II, the grazing cows were moved into nearby parks. Later, as those parks became Royal Parks, the cows moved again, this time to roadside milk stalls. Over centuries since, with the West End no longer a place fit for cows, the area has been home to a vibrant mix of cultures — French Huguenots, Italians and Greek Cypriots, chefs, tradespeople, artists and artisans — with dairy being brought in from further afield. Today, Soho Dairy sees the return of a farm gate to Berwick Street.
