BBC Radio 4 - On Your Farm, Milk for Baristas

Is the milk in your coffee as important as the beans? Meet the farmer who thinks it is.

Is the milk in your coffee as important as the beans? Caz Graham is in Lancashire to meet the farmer who thinks it is.

Lancashire dairy farmer Joe Towers and his family have gone into business with London based baristas to create a milk brand for coffee. Shaun and Rebecca Young reckon it's crazy that baristas and coffee fans spend all their time talking about the provenance of the bean and how long it's roasted for, but not the milk that goes into so much coffee. He approached thirty different farmers before he and Joe hit it off. 

Caz Graham meets Joe and Shaun for the ultimate latte.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
