Think Mole Valley Farmers for all your organic needs

Mole Valley Farmers has been supporting the organic sector with a wide range of products and services for more than 25 years - and it’s a commitment we intend to keep.

The road ahead looks positive for the organic sector with sales of organic produce increasing by about 6% a year through supermarkets, box schemes, catering, independent retailers and online stores. That’s three times faster than conventional produce.

Arla has also recently announced its aim to grow organic sales by a minimum 50% in five years. This will lift the co-op’s organic milk requirements from 180 to 270 million litres a year - good news for organic dairy farmers.

If you’re looking for advice or a wide selection of organic inputs, Mole Valley Farmers has it all. Our team of organic specialists can help with organic audits and provide a dedicated Kingshay Dairy Costings service for organic producers.

We’re continuously investing in our Huntworth mill and have recently upgraded our press lines to future-proof our organic offering. We can produce an extensive range of organic compounds and meals and also have an array of organic straights available to suit specific farm needs.

Our range of organic compounds are designed with quality in mind and include:

HOMEGROWN LUCERNE

We not only supply, but manufacture, source and invest in the supply chain to meet the needs of the organic farmer. Our commitment to British, homegrown, organic protein is something we’re particularly proud of.

Every year we buy around 2,000 tonnes of organic lucerne from a local farmer who grows, dries and pellets it before it enters our mill. At 23% protein, it compares favourably with imported lucerne, which is typically around 17% protein.

HIGH DIGESTIBLE UNDEGRADABLE PROTEIN (DUP)

DUP is high quality by-pass protein which helps drive milk production, milk proteins and productivity. Our Rumigan Dairy compounds include a range of DUP. For example, Rumigan Dairy 14 has 4.2% DUP and Rumigan Dairy 21 has up to 6.6% DUP.

HIGH ENERGY LEVELS

All our compounds have high energy levels as standard, plus we have a dedicated high energy range, which is carefully balanced for rumen health and performance. Our offering doesn’t stop there. We can also provide a selection of organic minerals, calf milk replacers, grass seed and more! To find out how we can help, please get in contact, we’d be happy to help.
