About The Lake District Dairy Co
The Lake District Dairy Co is a premium British dairy brand owned by First Milk, the UK's largest farmer-owned dairy cooperative. Operating from the Lake District Creamery in Aspatria, Cumbria, the brand is rooted in one of Britain's most celebrated dairy regions with a rich agricultural heritage. Following a £20 million investment programme, the Lake District Creamery now processes over 1 million litres of fresh Cumbrian milk every day. This capacity increase of 40% demonstrates the brand's commitment to growth while maintaining close ties to local farming communities. The product range includes a full portfolio of award-worthy British cheeses: Mild, Mature, Extra Mature and Vintage Cheddars crafted from locally-sourced milk, plus regional favourites Red Leicester and Double Gloucester. Beyond cheese, the brand offers Quark soft cheese for health-conscious consumers and Frumoo flavoured milk drinks. As part of First Milk's farmer-owned structure, The Lake District Dairy Co represents authentic British dairy heritage, delivering quality products while supporting British farming families. The brand has grown to be worth over £65 million, targeting £100 million in sales.
