Shetland
Farm Dairies Ltd. was formed in 1994 when dairy farmers in Shetland
bought the company after the previous owner, Kennerty, was taken
over by Robert Wiseman Dairies.
The
six remaining dairy farms in Shetland today each have a share
allocation equating to their individual quota holding, and a
seat on the Board of Directors.
Day
to day running of the operation is the responsibility of manager
Stephen Mitchell.
Daily
collection from the farms ensures that milk is always fresh.
Samples are taken from each farm, and at various points throughout
processing, and are tested at our own laboratory and at the
Scottish Milk Labs in Paisley. Test results and farm hygiene
audits form part of a quality monitoring process to maintain
a high standard of milk available for sale to our customers.
