About Pm and L Harris and Son
Alkmonton Dairy is a small, family-run business. We’re based in Alkmonton, just south of Ashbourne in Derbyshire . We process and bottle milk that has been produced by our own Pedigree Ayrshire herd of cows. Passionate about promoting our own products locally, we decided to cut out the middleman. We supply locally sourced and produced food products straight to people’s doorsteps.
Things to consider
