About Calon Wen

• Many dairy farmers want to sell their own milk to local people through their own company. Well that’s what Calon Wen is all about, well almost all about!
   
• Calon Wen was established eight years ago and is a Co-op owned by over 20 farming families from across Wales. Our aim is to secure a long term market for organic milk from Wales by supporting organic processing needs in Wales.
  
  
• We supply companies like Rachel’s Organic Dairy in Aberystwyth and Cilowen Organic Cheese in Carmarthenshire with all their requirements for fresh organic milk. We, also, work alongside processors in Wales producing our own branded products.
  
  
• Calon Wen is the first dairy in the UK to achieve the Soil Association Ethical Trade Symbol. This confirms Calon Wen’s commitment to fair and ethical trading relationships with everyone involved in the production and packing of Calon Wen milk and, also, our commitment to support the local communities where Calon Wen farmers live and work.
  
  
• Calon Wen pays it’s farmers for the quality as well as the quantity of milk they produce which means our farmers are not pushed toward high yielding systems. We have consistently paid our farmers above the market price for quality milk and we have strong track record that gives long term security to our members.
  
  
• Calon Wen milk is now a leading milk brand in Wales, supplying Tesco and Morrisons amongst others, across Wales and the Border counties.  It outsells other major brands by almost 2 to1 in stores where it is sold.
  
  
• Calon Wen organic milk undergoes minimum processing to retain its goodness and flavour.  It is simply pure, unadulterated milk, which is pasteurised, packaged and sold.
  
  
• Calon Wen is a professionally run, farmer owned business.
