Farmer meets barista

To celebrate UK Coffee Week, our partners Arla Organic Milk bought together an Arla farmer with a top barista to understand more about each other’s craft and the journey of milk from cow to cup.

Paul Meikle-Janney, award-winning barista and director of Darkwoods Coffee, spent the morning with Ian Pye, an Arla Farmer at Old Holly Farm, to learn about what goes into producing quality, organic milk.
