meet dales dairies

Hi, we’re Dales Dairies, a family-run dairy nestled in the picturesque village of Grassington, right in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Our journey began in 1938 when William Oversby, our founder, started delivering fresh milk to the local community. Over the years, our commitment to quality and community has remained steadfast, and today, we’re proud to continue this tradition.

Our milk is sourced from local farms, with over 95% coming directly from our local farmers. This close relationship ensures that the milk you enjoy is fresh, traceable, and of the highest quality. We don’t just meet legal standards; we aim to exceed them, reflecting our dedication to excellence.

The true heroes of Dales Dairies are our local farmers. Their unwavering dedication and hard work ensure that we can provide you with the freshest and finest dairy products. Without their passion and commitment, our mission wouldn’t be possible.

At Dales Dairies, it’s not just about milk; it’s about community, sustainability, and a promise to deliver the very best from our family to yours.

What Do Early Years Say

About us

Busy Bees Day Nursery
We’ve always provided milk but found the old scheme to be a hassle. With Cool Milk, it is hassle-free with no paperwork and never costs us a penny. It is also very beneficial to have it delivered to our door rather than having to fetch it from the shops.
Jayne Neyland
Nursery Leader
Little Me Nursery
In accordance with guidelines, Cool Milk provides us with whole milk for our under-twos and semi-skimmed milk for older children. We think this is the right balance between giving the children plenty of energy and a suitable amount of fat – and the parents agree!
