About us

The Little Big Dairy Co is a family-run business, delivering high quality, award winning milk from one dairy, traceable down to the very cow that made it. It’s the smallness of our process combined with our ability to supply these substantial quantities that allow us to share our milk with many. Owned and managed by the Chesworth family on the banks of the Macquarie river in the Central West of NSW, The Little Big Dairy Co was started, in order to deliver the best-tasting, single source milk you’ll drink to as many people as possible. It’s our belief that this shouldn’t be reserved for the lucky few; it should be readily available to many, supporting the economy in which it was made. On our farm, we see the product from start to finish, milking through processing and into the bottle. This smallness, the intimacy of our process, is what guarantees the integrity, quality and health benefits of our delicious single source milk. But what really makes us special is our herd of 800 beautiful Holsteins, born and raised on our farm. Each has a name, which we know by heart. They make us who we are, and it’s their happiness and health that allow us to deliver over 8 million litres of milk every year.

  • So many calls and emails about Bovaer today, we love being a company you can call and who you can trust. 𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆! To make sure we are sharing the correct information we waited to confirm the exact details with Dr Neil Noss BVSc (HONS) Dip. Vet.Clin.Stud PhD Dip HRM (dairy) Director and Senior Consultant Strategic Bovine Services. We work closely with Neil on a day to day basis to ensure the whole herd are best cared for. This is what he shared with us… Bovaer-10 is a feed supplement that can be added to cattle diets to reduce the production of methane. It is registered and legal for use in milking cows in Australia and there is a strong international evidence base that it is effective in reducing methane, a gas produced in the cows stomach when they naturally digest food, by an average of 22%. Despite this, there has been minimal uptake of this technology by the Australian dairy industry. 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝘃𝗮𝗲𝗿-𝟭𝟬 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗿, 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘀. We do however, acknowledge the role of cows in producing methane and are focused on looking at many other management and farming strategies that reduce emissions intensity and decrease the footprint of every litre we produce. We believe that we are adopting best farming practices to reduce emissions similar to those that have seen the amount of greenhouse gasses associated with a glass of milk drop by over 60% when compared to 1944 levels. These include: - Years of using the best genetics to breed healthy high producing cows that have long lives and make the most milk from every mouthful they eat. - Working with our nutritionist to ensure that our herd is fed balanced diets and has the highest possible feed conversion efficiency working to calve our heifers at 21-22 months of age compared to an industry average of over 26 months reducing emissions prior to reaching the herd by over 30%. - Developing our pasture and cropping to reduce the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilisers by re-cycling our dairy effluent and growing more legumes that require no additional nitrogen and - By bottling our milk on-site, we minimise the number of “food-miles” our milk needs to travel to be delivered to your nearest café or supermarket. While we continue to work with our nutritionist to evaluate the science, safety and environmental impact of how we farm and everything our cows eat, we are not considering the use of Bovaer-10 in the cattle diets at Little Big

  • At Little Big Dairy Co, we believe in the power of real, natural, unaltered milk! 🌱 While plant-based alternatives are rising in popularity, studies show that dairy milk remains unmatched in its nutritional benefits. From higher protein content to essential vitamins and minerals, cow's milk has been nourishing us for centuries—and it’s still the gold standard today. 💪 Check out this fascinating deep dive into why milk continues to be the ultimate choice for health-conscious consumers. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gGBtxKeR

  • Switching to Ordermentum has been a game-changer for us at Little Big Dairy! Not only has it streamlined our admin process, but it's also increased customer orders, making life easier for everyone. We love the meaningful conversations we have with our customers, learning how we can support their business and boost sales. With Ordermentum, baristas can focus on what matters most—crafting the perfect coffee—without the hassle of placing milk orders during the morning rush. It's a win-win for our customers and for us, making our partnerships even stronger!

  • Today we sent an email to all schools that are currently in Little Bigs distro - many of them bounced so we have taken to the power of social media offering our breakfast club partnership program to all. Milk is such a valuable food group, especially for those kids utilising breakfast clubs. A glass of milk can be a meal in itself. We currently are delivering in the following areas - ACT, Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Central Coast, New England, Central West, Western Plains Do you know a school that could do with a weekly milk donation?
