#209 Brookvale Farm: The Milk Vending Machine Taking NI By Storm

Published: June 7, 2021, 4 a.m.

\xa0 Pamela and Richard Lilburn are the owners of Brookvale Farm, a 100-year old family farm that has been taking County Down by storm after they installed a milk vending machine just a few months ago. \xa0 It\u2019s where I get my milk, it\u2019s the best milk I\u2019ve ever tasted in Northern Ireland if you like a bit of nostalgia, \xa0it even comes in a reusable glass bottle, which you can come back to the farm and fill-up yourself with either creamy whole milk or a wide-range of Brookvale milkshakes from their vending machine.\xa0 \xa0 The most fun part about their farm is that they\u2019ve opened it up to the general public, so you can go and visit the cows, calves and Mr T the horse with your friends and family while you fill-up. \xa0 In today\u2019s episode we talk about:

  • How an accountant ended up marrying a dairy farmer
  • Why store-bought milk "isn't really milk"
  • And what happens when 1000\u2019s of people start queuing outside your house for milk!
