Bennett's Farms has been part of Worcestershire’s history for over a century, originally under the name Bennetts Dairies.
Today the farm is managed by Stefania and Tristan Bennett, who took over the farm in 2013. The farm is now known for its fresh milk deliveries, cafe and glamping site. Stefania explains, "Being part of a fifth-generation family dairy is a privilege. Our goal has always been to share the farm with the community, whether through doorstep deliveries, our Willow Barn café, or Worcester Glamping. Dairy farming is at the heart of everything we do."
Stefania shares some behind-the-scenes insights. “Our whole milk is kept as simple and natural as possible – we pasteurise it, with no homogenisation, additives, or preservatives. For semi-skimmed and skimmed varieties, we run the whole milk through a separator, but again, nothing is added or altered. It’s truly just simple, fresh milk from our herd to your home. Earlier this year, we opened our newly built dairy, which allowed us to switch our milk deliveries into glass bottles rather than plastic, making our service more sustainable while maintaining the quality and freshness that our customers expect.”
It is important for the Bennetts family to support other family-run businesses in Worcestershire too, Stefania explains. ‘We firmly believe that if we don’t support other local producers, we can’t expect them to support us. Some of the fantastic local businesses we work with include Bennetts Ice Cream (family members who make the delicious ice cream from our milk), Method Coffee Roasters and Madresfield Estate, to name just a few. We’re proud to collaborate with these producers and celebrate the incredible food and drink that our region has to offer.”
Bennetts will join Taste Worcestershire 2025, and Stefania is excited to be a part of it. “We are incredibly proud to be a local producer. Running a small family business in today’s climate is not easy, and we are completely reliant on like-minded people who understand the importance of supporting local food and drink producers. We hope that the Taste Worcestershire event will help introduce us to more customers who want to connect with and support one of their local farms.”
Over the coming months, visitors and customers can look forward to some exciting events at Bennetts Farm, one being a Pick Your Own Dahlia, which opened in August, inviting visitors to handpick their own stunning blooms. For the very first time, Bennetts will be producing pork sausages, bacon, and pork boxes – straight from the farm to the table. There is also a Pumpkin Patch in October for autumn celebrations for all the family.
