Milk Producers Australia
We started the Little Big Dairy Co to deliver the best-tasting, 'Single Source' milk you'll drink to as many people as possible. It's our belief that this shouldn't be reserved for the lucky few. It should be readily available to many, supporting the economy in which it was made.
Everything We Believe, Captured In A Bottle
At the heart of our farm on the banks of the Macquarie River are two generations of our family who work tirelessly to bring you Australia’s best tasting Single Source dairy brand. We each have a role, working together through the supply chain.

Milk Producers in Australia Know Healthy Cows Make Great Products
The Little Big Dairy Co is a small company with a big heart and the desire to get our premium quality milks to as many people as possible. We come from a long line of dairy farmers, and our family works hard to continue building on their traditions.
Every good farmer knows you have to start with the basics. No matter how much we evolve as dairy farmers, one thing will always remain the same for milk producers in Australia: cows. We can’t make our products without healthy, happy cows.
We’d Like to Introduce You to Some Very Important Staff
That’s why our cows are considered among our most important staff. We treat them the same as we would any person in our employment. Which is to say, they’re treated like members of our family. We truly care for their welfare, and we can even introduce our cows to you by name!
Like our little Wildfire, always the first one at the gate in the morning. She’s just as much of a go-getter as the rest of us!

Personalising The Milk Industry In Australia
Some aspects of the dairy industry, in Australia and beyond, have attracted a lot of negative attention in recent years. And it’s created unrest amongst consumers. But Little Big Dairy Co is doing its utmost to deliver ethical and sustainable milk products to the people of Australia.
Our family has been in the milk industry in Australia for over 100 years, grazing cattle near the Macquarie River and delivering exceptionally tasty milk to our consumers. Read More
Some milk producers in Australia have sold their farms to international companies, whilst other Australian milk producers have entered into cooperative relationships. But this doesn’t always help promote - or develop - independent farms. Nor does it guarantee the quality of the product that you, the customer, receive. Because we fully operate our own farm, profits are continually reinvested for further recycling facilities and increased automation for greater efficiency and care.
Here at Little Big Dairy, we pride ourselves on knowing that from the first drop to the last, every bottle of milk we deliver has come from a single source. It’s entirely traceable down to the specific cow. All milk from our cows is sent straight to processing here on the farm, where it is also bottled.
With our efficient processes, it can take as little as 24 hours for milk to go from cow to bottle. We don’t process more than is absolutely necessary, and we store milk for as short a time as possible. This means that you will receive milk with a much longer shelf life compared with other brands.
Top Quality Milk Producers In Australia
Little Big Dairy Co takes great care of the cows’ welfare - they’re part of our family after all. And this, in turn, ensures the milk tastes far superior to other types available on the market. The natural creamy texture is retained through minimal processing and our customers can’t get enough!
We're award-winning 100% Australian milk producers. We’ve received a humbling number of gold awards for our premium brand standards and the lip-smackingly good taste of our milk. And we receive more each year because we keep our sights set on delivering top-tier milk products to the Australian people.
Our full range has grown to include full-cream, less cream and no-cream milk varieties, as well as flavoured milk, premium non-homogenised milk, pouring cream and double cream. Our range is perfectly suited for use in cafes and restaurants, as well as for resale in retail units. Customers can also purchase directly and benefit from our doorstep delivery service.
Ethics And Sustainability In The Milk Industry
For 100 years, our farm in Dubbo NSW has grown and invested in sustainability. And we continually add to our processes to ensure any waste (water, for example) that can be recycled, WILL BE recycled. We’ve recently added a soft plastic bailer to our facilities to increase our recycling. And, we’ve cut out the use of plastic crates during deliveries to prevent the need for excessive washing between uses. Instead, we now use cardboard boxes, allowing more products to fill each van, reducing the overall number of trips and our carbon footprint alongside it. We’re working on a way to recover and recycle the HDPE plastic bottle we use for milk. We’re hopeful this service will be available in the near future.

Our Holsteins are Part of the Chesworth Family
We honestly care about quality of life for our cows because they truly are part of our family. It was heartbreaking for us to sell off a portion of our herd back in 2012, but that’s what gave us the seed money to set up our on farm processing plant.We’re well on our way to being a little dairy company with a big reach. Our ultimate goal is to get our products into as many homes and businesses across Australia as we possibly can. The Chesworth name has a hundred years of farming experience behind it. That’s 100 years of learning how to care for our cows to produce the finest raw milk in the Australian NSW. So, when you buy from Little Big Dairy Co, you know that you’re getting fresh milk from happy cows!
Look for our products in IGA supermarkets and select stockists throughout Australia. We also sell milk in bulk through various so local businesses can serve up something fresh for their customers as well!
