The Ahimsa Dairy Foundation began in 2007 and was incorporated in July 2010. It is a not-for-profit company which campaigns for and promotes the concept of slaughter-free milk ; milk whereby no cows, calves and bulls are ever slaughtered. We are offering a compassionate model for dairy farming geared towards small farms and feeding local communities.Our aim is to be the standard by which all dairy production in the UK is to be measured.
The word Ahimsa is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning ‘non-harm’ and non-violence. The philosophy of Ahimsa includes the understanding that suffering given to another will return as suffering to oneself.

Milk & Products
Raw and whole pasteurised milk are currently being delivered to doorstep/drop-point locations in the North London/within M25 area, and throughout the rest of the UK via mailorder. We already have a very long milk waiting list and therefore the list is closed to new submissions at this time. Sorry. Come and visit us at a farmers’ market if you are in London where you can still buy our raw milk.
Production of of gouda style semi-hard cheese is ongoing. Production of yoghurt and other products is presently paused.
Although we may not be able to offer you milk or products at this time, please still consider becoming a member to support our slaughter-free mission
