In February 2020, local dairy farmers Helen and Craig approached us about installing a fresh milk vending machine at The Balloon Tree. Having had huge success with a similar setup in Elvington, close to their farm, they wanted to share the joy of fresh Jersey milk with even more people.

By housing a Greyleys Jersey Milk machine on-site, we can offer our customers the freshest milk straight from the farm. Unlike supermarket milk, this isn’t processed and shipped to a bottling plant—it’s harvested from the herd, gently pasteurised, and delivered straight into our vending machine.

Greyleys Jersey milk is known for its rich, creamy flavour and natural golden colour. It’s a fantastic source of protein, calcium, iodine, and essential vitamins. Their milk is non-homogenised, meaning it retains its natural structure, and because Jersey milk is typically higher in A2A2 protein, many people find it easier to digest.

If you’re walking in the Elvington area, you might spot Helen and Craig’s curious and friendly Jersey cows, always eager to say hello!

Once you’ve tried this fresh farm milk, we’re sure you’ll be back for more. To help reduce environmental impact, we also stock reusable glass Jersey milk bottles, branded with Greyleys’ recognisable logo, available to purchase in our Farm Shop.
