Creameries and farm dairies in Derbyshire

Creameries and farm dairies process milk on or near the farm that produced it. Some sell only wholesale, so the ones listed here are those with a public counter, vending machine or shop.

In Derbyshire we hold 3 creameries and farm dairies, with the most in Amber Valley (1) and High Peak (1). Of the 1 carrying a numeric food hygiene rating, 1 hold the top score of 5. Every entry below links to a page showing where the information came from and when we last checked it.

How many creameries and farm dairies are there in Derbyshire?

We list 3 creameries and farm dairies in Derbyshire, spread across 3 districts. That count covers businesses on the Food Standards Agency food hygiene register that identify themselves as a creamery. Farms that sell only at markets, only through a box scheme, or only from an honesty box may not appear on that register at all, so treat this as a floor rather than a complete census.

Are these creameries and farm dairies open to the public right now?

We cannot promise that. This directory holds official registration and hygiene data, not opening hours. Farm businesses are strongly seasonal and many change their hours week to week. Always check the farm's own website or social media, or ring, before setting off.

What does the food hygiene rating on each listing mean?

It is the score the local council's food safety officer gave that business at its last inspection. It runs from 5 (very good) down to 0 (urgent improvement necessary). It reflects hygiene and record-keeping on the day of inspection. It says nothing about how good the produce is.
