Many dairy farmers have always wanted to sell
their own milk to local people through their
own company, and in 2000 that's what a group
of Welsh organic farmers started to do.
Initially there were four members, now
Calon Wen Co-operative boasts more
than twenty family farms...
Calves born in the spring are given the opportunity to experience the lush pastures and favorable weather conditions of the season.
They can benefit from the fresh vegetation, which is an important part of their diet. Organic farmers typically provide ample grazing areas for their livestock, allowing the calves to freely roam and enjoy the natural environment.

The British dung beetle, like other dung beetles around the world, plays an important role in the ecosystem through its feeding and behavioral habits.
Nutrient recycling:
Dung beetles help break down animal waste, such as dung, by feeding on it. They bury dung balls or tunnel beneath it, which aids in the decomposition process. As they consume and process dung, they release nutrients back into the soil, facilitating nutrient cycling and improving soil fertility.
Soil aeration and fertility:
By burying dung, dung beetles create tunnels in the soil, which helps with soil aeration. These tunnels allow air and water to penetrate deeper into the soil, benefiting plant roots and other organisms. Additionally, the dung buried by beetles acts as a source of organic matter, enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth.

Organic cattle are required to have access to outdoor space and a balanced diet that is free from animal by-products.
The UK organic certification process ensures that organic cattle are raised to high animal welfare standards, promoting healthy and sustainable farming practices that benefit both the environment and consumers.
