Hinxden Dairy – Double Cream

The Manford family settled at Hinxden Farm in Benenden in 1930 with just 6 cows. Siblings, John and Thomasine, increased cow numbers and acres over the years as land became available to rent or buy.

John Manford’s wife, Winifred, started off by selling raw milk to friends and neighbours. When milk quotas were introduced in 1984 and the opportunity arose to buy a neighbouring dairy`s milk round along with the first 20 Friesian cows, the business started to grow and develop further.

Graham, Sally and Richard have continued to increase the number of cows over the years to 250 and now have 7 refrigerated vans on the road.
