Description
Father and son Phil and Steve Hook farm Longleys Farm organically. They have been in partnership together at Longleys Farm Hailsham since 1991. Farming is in their blood, the Hook family have been farming in East Sussex for at least 250 years! We farm 180 acres just north of Hailsham, and on the very western edge of the Pevensey Levels Site of Special Scientific Interest (S.S.S.I.) The organic methods of farming that we use work in harmony with maintaining and enhancing this important and wonderful local ecology. Our farm is teeming with a wide variety of flora and fauna. A recent RSPB species survey found 45 different species of native birds, including eight species whose status is category red (declined by more than 50% over the last 25 years), and nine species that have declined by 25-49% over the same period (category amber). The farm is an all grass farm, most of which is permanent pasture on the land on the Pevensey Levels. On the upper western side of the farm, grass leys that are rich in red and white clover are grown. The cows graze all these fields once the ground is dry enough 'to turn them out' in the spring, until the ground becomes too wet in the autumn. The cows are then housed indoors for the winter. They are fed our homemade, organic grass silage in the winter that has been made from lush spring grass and clover. An organic mix of sunflower, linseed, pea, bean and molasses is also fed to the cows to supplement their grass diet. We have also diversified into growing cricket bat willow (salix alba) to help sustain our farming business.

Hook and Son might be a store, milktap, drop point, pickup location, delivery area, or general retail location distributing raw milk.
Raw milk is a rare find in most places. Unless this is a 24/hr milktap, contact them ahead of time to make sure they're open and in stock when you arrive. It's common for raw milk to sell out within 24 hours in many places.

What is raw milk?
Milk is a raw material that comes from the mammary glands of cows, goats, sheep, camels, alpacas, or any other mammal.
Raw milk has not been treated or subjected to boiling, pasteurization, homogenization, UV radiation, high-pressure processing, or any other process meant to alter its composition.
Raw milk is milked, filtered, cooled, bottled, and sold direct-to-consumer, customers, cheese makers, or retailers.
When you choose raw milk, you are supporting farmers directly - instead of corporate milk processors.
Why raw milk?
Raw milk is preferred by a growing number of people across the world for a variety of reasons related to nutrition, food security, and fairness in production of the dairy we consume.

Is raw milk legal? 👀
If you're in the USA, raw milk sales are permitted or not permitted on the state level. Consuming raw milk is not illegal anywhere.
Some states welcome raw milk sales in grocery stores, usually found in the natural food section. Other jurisdictions require herdshare membership to distribute raw milk. Few examples:
In California, raw milk is widely available in grocery stores. Kentucky requires a doctor's note for raw goat milk sales. Florida requires raw milk to be sold through feed licensing as "pet food." Australian raw milk can only be sold as a cosmetic ie "bath milk." In England, and many places across Europe, raw milk is dispensed through vending machines (bring your own refillable container).

Is raw milk safe?
More than 10m people consume raw milk in the United States. Per consumer, 1 in 14,250 (or 0.007%) raw milk consumers get sick with anything as mild as a stomach ache, compared to 1 in 145 (or 0.69%) for leafy greens. 1 in 500,000 (or 0.0002%) are hospitalized.

All food comes with risk, raw milk is no different. Risk can also be mitigated. Milking into a bucket and drinking it unfiltered is a thing that happens in many places. Raw milk production for retail is an operation that farmers take seriously. Clean facilities, equipment, and procedures are highly recommended.
If you are interested in learning more about food safety related to raw milk, microbe testing, recommended equipment, production tips, and more, reach out to The Raw Milk Institute in California.
