In 1921 Tom Parker, started farming with 14 cows on rented land. He began by delivering milk from his horse and cart, as word spread of the quality of the milk, his fleet of beautifully painted horse drawn milk floats became a regular sight in Hampshire and ‘The Guv’nor’, as he was known, became something of a farming legend. He never let success change him though, describing himself, even to royalty, as ‘the local milkman.’
And to this day, four generations of the family still live in the Meon Valley with the family farm now in the hands of Tom’s Great Grandson, Jack Martin. Jack’s mission remains the same as Tom’s – to deliver the simple but delicious pleasure of natural, high quality dairy produce to as many people as they can.
