Forest Farm โ€” The Organic Dairy

The Willis Family

"Scotland's oldest organic dairy. Gelato. Pizza. Milk from the vending machine."

Forest Farm became Scotland's first organic dairy in 1998. Run by the Willis family from Kinellar near Aberdeen, it is now Scotland's longest-established organic dairy and one of the most visited farm destinations in the region โ€” over 250,000 visitors a year.

In 2017 they installed Scotland's first milk vending machine. Fresh organic milk, glass bottle, ยฃ1 a litre, available from 6:30am to 8pm every day. In 2019 they started making gelato โ€” handmade in small batches using their own organic milk and homemade inclusions. Twenty flavours. In 2023 they opened a pizzeria with a Neapolitan oven imported from Naples. The gelato garden opens after dark under hundreds of twinkling lights. Certified by the Soil Association. Won UK Dairy Farm of the Year in 2015.
