Sark
Story
Sark's long-standing dairy closed, prompting local residents to form the trust in August 2019. A £480,000 public appeal was launched in spring 2020 to build a new dairy facility. First sod turned August 2020. Previous tenant farmers Jason and Katharine Salisbury operated 2021-2025 before returning to Suffolk.
Sark Dairy Trust is a charitable trust founded in 2019 on the Isle of Sark to ensure the island remains self-sufficient in dairy production. It operates a purpose-built dairy facility leased to tenant farmers, raising Golden Guernsey cattle to produce fresh milk, cream, cheese, and yogurt. The trust's mission spans land management, sustainability, and encouraging young people into agriculture. Public access includes free daily milking viewings and a 24/7 milk vending machine. —
