From humble beginnings in 2013, St David Dairy began with the hand-bottling of fresh farm milk on St David Street in the heart of Fitzroy. Our founder was a fourth generation dairy farmer who wanted to bring the dairy back into the daily lives of inner-city locals and has since seen the community embrace our award-winning milk, yoghurt, butter and cream.

Each day, we take in pure milk delivered from our carefully selected farmers in Gippsland, at the base of the Strezlecki ranges just 100kms from the factory door. Before we start anything, we make sure that our first morning coffee has perfectly textured milk with an award-winning delicious taste and creaminess.

At a time when provenance and ‘food miles’ count, it’s little wonder that word has spread among those who want something wholesome and as natural as possible from their local producers.

Together both farm and factory strive to bring the most beautiful & sustainable milk daily, giving taste, quality and traceability to businesses and families alike.
