Hillhead of Covington is a dairy farm milking 400 Holstein cows located between Tinto Hill and the river Clyde in South Lanarkshire. The Baillie Family have been faming here for over 25 years.The family have always enjoyed the fresh milk that is produced on the farm but have increasing found that it bears less resemblance to the milk available to the majority of people. Proper fresh milk has been losing its appeal, being overly processed; high temperature pasteurising, standardising, homogenising, filtering, skimming off the cream and often 5 days old before getting to the customer having travelled many, many, miles around the country.
