Description
In the heart of Dubbo, NSW, a remarkable story unfolds at The Little Big Dairy Co, where Emma Elliott and her father, Steve Chesworth, are not just dairy farmers, but they regard themselves as environmentalists.
Their journey showcasing the importance of embracing new and sustainable practices in the dairy industry to benefit both the environment and the bottom line.
We discuss:
- The importance of preserving the dairy industry and encouraging the next generation to be involved.
- The balance between profitability and sustainability in the dairy industry.
- The need for education and transparency to build trust with consumers.
- The implementation of sustainable practices, such as solar panels and water recycling, on the farm.
- Future plans for the business, including the production of butter and housing cows in climate-controlled barns.
