Nestlé farmers day
The annual Nestlé farmers’ day was held in October 2022 in the Mosselbay Town Hall. The day focussed on sustainable milk production from pasture. High quality dairy products require high quality milk with a low somatic cell count and a low bacterial count.
Nestlé awarded certificates to the three farms that delivered the best quality milk during the past year.
Awards
The Outeniqua Research Farm was ranked 2nd out of a total of 75 dairy farms in the Western Region. This prestigious award is the result of hard work by the dedicated team working at the Outeniqua dairy over a long period of time.
Milking 360 cows twice a day for 365 days a year is not a job for the faint hearted.
We congratulate the Outeniqua dairy team for a job well done. AP
