Education
Farming is fundamental to us all and nowhere is that more in evidence than in Jersey. Jersey Dairy has 12 dairy farms in the island with herd sizes ranging from 60 to 600 cows. These beautiful animals in their grassy fields contribute greatly to the island’s landscape and environmental well-being, as well as its economy and heritage, and the international status of the cow is a key factor in putting ‘Jersey on the map’.
At Jersey Dairy we want to share the story of the Jersey cow, our farms and our delicious and nutritious Jersey milk. The Dairy and its farms can provide schools with exciting and relevant opportunities to meet objectives in a range of curriculum areas. We welcome school visits, which can be tailored to meet the needs of each class, ideally including both a farm and the dairy, so pupils can experience the entire sequence, ’From Grass to Glass.’

During the 2022/23 school year we had over 30 visits from both primary and secondary schools around the Island. If you would like to arrange a visit please download the form below.
