Dairy producer uses carbon-neutral milk from SA

Paris Creek Farms will now be producing its entire range of organic dairy products using carbon-neutral milk sourced from South Australian dairy farms.

The change will enable the brand, which produces yoghurts, cheeses, cream, quark and milk, to achieve its sustainability goals of reducing its carbon footprint and increasing sustainability.

“The launch of our milk from carbon neutral dairy farms is a key part of the business’s sustainability journey, reducing its carbon footprint and helping to fight climate change,” said Chantale Millard, CEO of Paris Creek Farms.

The carbon-neutral status of the milk will be achieved through bio-dynamic farming practices, supplemented with the purchase of carbon credits. Farms without these bio-dynamic organic methods of producing their milk are gradually changing their practices but the carbon credit allows for these locations to be offset until they’re fully implemented.

“We have had all farms audited by an accredited body and are delighted to be making such progress in our mission to create a better environment for generations to come,” Millard said, adding that farms are also having their soil tested as part of sustainability checks.

“We are excited to be working with our farmers to help them all achieve carbon neutral status and are proud to produce products that are from such sustainable and regenerative farming practices.”
