Reports on Channel 5 news has created a considerable increase in the enquiries about Guernsey milk and where it can be obtained.  Unfortunately there is no pure Guernsey milk sold in any of the supermarkets at present, but this is being worked on and when we have any positive news it will appear on these pages. In the meanwhile, if there is no local supply in your area some of the suppliers listed below can have their milk and milk products delivered to you.
 
Please note that “Channel Island” milk, while being an excellent product, is not entirely Guernsey milk and in some cases may not contain any Guernsey milk at all.  Freezing pasteurised milk is possible if handled carefully. Homogenised milk can be frozen without difficulty.

If you have any corrections, additions, etc., to this list, please contact us.

Is there anywhere that I can purchase this milk in the USA? I am from England and I love the taste of Jersey and Guernsey Milk it really cannot compare to "regular" milk. If you could send me a reply I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Kim

Hi, Kim --

Great idea. I've posted a message on the Yahoo list for Guernsey breeders (which seems to have mainly American farmers) to see if they'd like to add their details to our directory here.

In the meantime, I'm told you can contact Seth Johnson, the Executive Secretary - Treasurer of the American Guernsey Association. His e-mail address is sjohnson@usguernsey.com -- and is located in Tunbridge, Vermont.

Please let us know how this works out.

Thanks,

Craig

Hi everyone. Got a little lad of 3 who is autistic. Just heard about this news report and of course I'm going to try it. Searched the internet and found that Sainsburys and Tesco among others stock Gold Top milk. It is made from guernsey cows with the A2 protein in it.
Craig W Walsh

Hi Linda ---

Gold Top Milk (which we promote with the banner on the left of this page) contains Channel Island milk. This is a mixture of Jersey and Guernsey milk, and I am reliably informed that Gold Top is primarily Jersey milk.

The properties described in the Channel 5 news piece today relate specifically to Guernsey milk, and (unfortunately) not to Jersey milk.

While Gold Top milk is certainly more convenient to purchase than pure Guernsey milk, please do not be misled into thinking that Gold Top is pure Guernsey milk --- it's not. As indicated on the Gold Top website, "Gold Top and Breakfast Milk are unique in that the milk comes exclusively from pedigree herds of Jersey & Guernsey cows – frequently referred to by the dairy trade as 'Channel Islands milk.'"

The list, above, are the only known producers of pure Guernsey milk in the U.K. who retail to the public. Gold Top is not pure Guernsey milk, and may not even be 50% Guernsey milk.

No doubt if I'm mistaken others will add their comments to this page.

Thanks!

Craig

As a family living in Glasgow in which our youngest boy has autism, we would be grateful to hear of any farms/suppliers which we would gain access to A2 milk. Like thousands of parents we would tryanything to help our boy.

I have read that goats milk contains purely a2 protein. Is this just as good as Guernsey milk? If so I know that it is readily available.
Jason Salisbury
13 Nov 2008, 15:14

Please contact us for further details,

Our milk has a seven day shelf life, this is about the norm for all fresh milk. We have done trials on freezing and the full fat does not freeze well, However it is not homogenised. If the demand is there we will start to produce skim and semi skimmed milk,these freeze better, and can also provide next day delivery, but will need a few days to organise this.
I beleive there are good networks between parents and schools so may I advise combined orders to help with the cost of delivery.

Our middle boy has autism, living in Glasgow we would be grateful to hear of any farms/suppliers which we would gain access to Suppliers of Guernsey Milk/A2 milk. Like many of parents we would try anything to help our child.

i have a little boy aged 3 with ASD, thx for the comments on this page, just been and purchased this "gold top" milk, had no problems getting it from my local TESCO, in 1 litre bottles.will give it a try, willing to try anything that will help my son.

Liz -

You should be aware that Gold Top milk is merely “Channel Island” milk --- a blend of Jersey milk and Guernsey milk. Jersey milk apparently does not have the same properties as Guernsey milk. I am reliably informed that the majority of Gold Top milk is from Jersey cows.

The milk featured in the Channel 5 programme was from Guernsey cows. Unfortunately none of the grocery stores sell pure Guernsey milk --- you’d need to purchase it from one of the farmers listed above.

A couple of the EGCS farmers are working on selling pure Guernsey milk online, and shipping it via courier.

I appreciate that you want to do anything to help your son, and I just wanted to be sure that you understood the difference between Gold Top (so called “Channel Islands” milk) and Guernsey milk.

Hi just recieved my delivery of Guernsey milk by courier, from the farm in Suffolk, I live in Scotland, it tastes lovely and was still cold and not thick at all, fingers crossed that it helps my son a little.

Linda.

Hi all
I have been able to get hold of some Guernsey milk from Suffolk.
If you call Jason Salisbury on 01449710458/07787584386 he will deliver it at home. The price is really reasonable.
Good luck.

Hi does anyone know if you have to change a childs entire diet for this milk to be effective ie yogurts ect??

Trina
Chris watson
25 Nov 2008, 08:46
Trina. As far as our present experience tells us, yoghurt has as much influence as milk, but cheese does not seem to have the same effect.
Chris Watson
15 Dec 2008, 09:38
To all of you that have used Guernsey milk and/or yogurt with your children.

We would be very interested to know the results whether they were either good or had no effect. If you could also let us know he type of autisism, this would also be helpful

Our reason for wanting to know these results are twofold:-
Firstly, so that we can pass on the message to other suffers
Secondly, so that we have information that will encourage Shops and supermarkets to put the milk on the shelf to make it easier for all to access the products.

If you do not want to use this site please email me at cwatson917@btinternet .com

Thank you Chris

Martin. From above it would seem that Kelsmoer Dairy, Garway, Hereford is your closest supplier, 01600 750685.

If this does not suit try Suffok Farmhouse Cheeses who will arrange delivery by carrier,01449 710458.

PLease let us know how your child gets on.
