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. Abel & Cole ships by courier throughout the United Kingdom.
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.
New! Available Nationally
Abel and Cole now ships 100% Guernsey milk throughout the country. Their website indicates:
Through working with our dairy farmer, Nick Gosling at Berkeley Farm
Dairy, we are able to bring you this deliciously creamy, 100% pure
Guernsey milk.
There is some evidence to suggest that a
product made entirely from Guernsey milk (which contains high levels of
the A2 variety of a protein called beta-casein) has special health
benefits. Although some people contest the scientific research behind
this, we recognised the demand for it – and it tastes heavenly!
Like
all Nick's milk, this 100% Guernsey is unhomogenized. It's milk the
old-fashioned way. It's also extremely fresh. When you place your order
the milk may not have even left the cow!
All of our milk is pasturised.

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
Craig W Walsh

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
13 Nov 2008, 13:29
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

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
We note that there are several requests from Scotland and areas where
Guernsey milk is not easily obtainable.We are able to courier our Guernsey
milk (and cheeses) anywhere in the UK overnight in cool packs for an
average of £6.95 courier charge- one pack will hold up to 8 X 1L bottles.
Please contact us for further details,

help us.

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.

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.
Craig Walsh
15 Nov 2008, 17:38
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.
Linda White
18 Nov 2008, 06:32
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.

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

Hi, my son is on the autistic spectrum and when we heard about A2 milk we
thought like most, we must give it a go! 6 months on, we are so pleased
with our sons progress, he is much calmer, his stomach cramps have stopped.
He is now engaging in a conversation much more than before, his speech and
language therapist at his college states that they themselves have noticed
a difference!
Many thanks to Sue and Andrew Hope of Tarporley Cheshire Farm for keeping
us supplied with their milk and yogurts.
Chris Watson
07 Mar 2009, 08:27
Karen. Thank you for the comments. Before the end of the month a
questionnaire will be circulated to the milk suppliers asking about users
of Guernsey milk for their personal reports. I hope you and all the other
users will respond. Chris

I'm visiting the UK from Australia, where I've been following the A2 milk
story since it fist broke there in about 2003. It's disappointing to see
the poor penetration it seems to have achieved here - but it's the same in
Western Australia for some reason, while the eastern states are better
supplied.
Noticing the number of parents writing in here with kids with ASD or other
behavioural difficulties, I wanted to draw your attention to the Food
Intolerance Network at
http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info/
It's an Australian site but with masses of information that may help you
(including mentioning A2 milk!).
Sabah Carter
12 Mar 2009, 08:29
We want to try this for my nephew, who is diagnosed autistic, but he
refuses to drink milk. We thought we would hide it in ice cream. Does
anyone know if this will not work as I saw a comment about how you can't
freeze the milk. Can we simply use it in an ice cream maker and store for
him to have that way?
Advice appreciated as we are keen to get him on the milk asap and can't
think of any other way he'll take it.
Chris Watson
12 Mar 2009, 09:06
Sabah. Could be worth a try if it is made from Guernsey milk rather than
cream. A new approach to me, please let me know how you get on. May be
guernsey yoghurt would be better, if you can get him to taste it I would be
surprised if he does not react very positivel

Hi Could you possibly tell me whether I can get a supply of Guernsey Cows
milk In Hertfordshire? The only places above that you've mentioned are
Hereford which is not close or Able and cole who are in Wimbledon. You
mentioned a farm close to Milton Keyenes, do you know the name or if they
are supplying the milk? We live in Herts and have an autistic child and we
have heard that the A2 milk has good properties for children on the
spectrum. If i get enough people interested, as i run a special needs
support group for Autism in this area, may be we could do a bulk order on a
regular basis. We are having a meeting tomorrow night so it would be great
if you could come back to me before then and i can let everyone know. Do
you know if Guernsey milk is freezable? Many thanks Liz Buckler
(CommonSENse support group for Autism)
Chris Watson
23 Mar 2009, 14:36
Liz. Your nearest current supplier is at High Wykham 01494 882607. Abel
and Cole are due to start the delivery of pure Guernsey milk. Contact

Or contact Suffolk Cheeses who run a delivery service.

April and the charge is 99p delivery. She is yet to come back to me on
price but has been very helpful and will contact me next week when she
knows more. Thanks for all your help. Will let you know if the milk helps
my son. regards, Liz

Hi my daughter had an unknown allergy that caused her to cough and
occassionlay be sick. She has been drinking A1 milk from Guernsey cows in
Australia for the past six months and hasn't suffered once. We have
reurned to the UK and she has been drinking ordinary 'pure' milk, but once
again her cough has began. Where can we get the equivalent of A1 milk on a
regular basis?

27 Jun 2009, 02:57
Sorry my comment should have read that my daughter has been drinking A2
milk and not A1 in Australia

there is no in your area try Suffolk Cheese or Abel and Cole. If still in

Just wondering - what are the supposed benefits of Guernsey milk?? I've
lived in Guernsey for 14 years and have never heard of it being more
beneficial than other milk.
Chris Watsom
27 Jul 2009, 18:13
David. I suggest you try Andrew hope on 01829734080
Chris Watson
27 Jul 2009, 18:34
Charlotte. The milk you drink on the Island all comes from your local
pedigree Guernsey cows. Guernesy milk differs from other milks in several
ways. It is higher in fat. protein and calcium than the milks you buy on
the mainland. The special benefit is that the beta casein is 90%+ of the
A2 variant whereas most other milks are 70%+ of the A1 variant. It is also
higher in Beta Carotene
A2 milk is reported to be helpful with children`s behavourial problems,
xuch as Autism. This has not been scientifically proven but there is a lot
of anecdotal evidence. There are quite a number of people buying Guernsey
Milk for there Autistic Children and getting a lot of benefit from it.
If you want to know more I suggest you contact the Guernsey Dairy on the
Island.

Hi Chris,
I am in Australia and my daughter has A2 only milk as she is A1 Casein
intellerant as it causes extreme behaviour issues with her (it took us 2
years to discover it was the milk). Anyway I am coming to visit my mum is
Sunderland (North East) and starting to panic as there is no suppliers
listed for that area, other than bringing a suitcase of longlife A2 with me
do you know anyone who delivers up north??
Thank you in advance Emma

Thanks Chris,
Checked Abel's website and they dont deliver that far up, will give Suffolk
Cheeses a ring tonight/morning in UK and hope for the best. I am so pleased
A2 is readily available in the supermarkets here, its about time the UK
realised the benefits of stocking it. It changed my 3 year old daughters
life literally and in turn our whole family's, she went from unhappy,
uncooperative tantruming child into a beautiful happy little girl
overnight. Anyone wondering if A2 wilk will help them, give it a go you
have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Thanks again for your
assistance. Emma
