Ashgrove Eco-Milk™: reduced environmental foot-print for a Healthier Planet

Ashgrove Eco-Milk™nature friendly milk

Imagine enjoying your favorite milk while also contributing to a healthier planet. That's precisely what Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ delivers! Maintaining the rich, creamy flavor and taste you love, Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ significantly reduces environmental impact. Made possible by Asparagopsis, a native Tasmanian red seaweed, our eco-cows produce milk with a markedly reduced carbon footprint.

Ashgrove Managing Director Richard Bennett champions this breakthrough as more than just another dairy product—it's a solution to a global challenge. By teaming up with SeaForest, a 2023 The Earthshot Prize finalist and leading Tasmanian science-based environmental technology company, Ashgrove is forging a more sustainable future.

Our Eco-Milk™ cows continue to graze freely on lush, fresh grass, and during milking, they enjoy a nutritious muesli mix with the addition of SeaFeed™. This results in 'burps' with lower methane emissions, a win-win for our cows and the environment. This innovation underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainability.

Combating Climate change

This milestone marks a significant achievement in combating climate change: Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ is the world's first commercially available fresh milk produced with lower emissions. It represents a monumental step forward in reducing our herd's methane footprint without compromising milk quality, offering consumers a delicious and eco-conscious choice.

The response from stores and consumers has been overwhelmingly positive. Retailers are excited to stock Ashgrove Eco-Milk™, recognizing its potential to meet the growing demand for sustainable products. Customers have praised the milk for its great taste and environmental benefits, often sharing their enthusiasm on social media and recommending it to friends and family. This positive reception not only boosts our confidence in the product but also highlights the increasing consumer awareness and preference for eco-friendly options.

Inclusion of Tasmanian farmers

In addition to its environmental benefits, Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ supports local economies by partnering with Tasmanian dairy farmers and suppliers. This collaboration ensures that the entire production process, from farm to shelf, is as sustainable and community-focused as possible. As more people become aware of the importance of reducing their carbon footprint, Ashgrove Eco-Milk™ stands out as a leader in the dairy industry, setting a new standard for sustainable practices and high-quality products.
