Every day, thousands of dairy calves are separated from their mothers at birth. A Dairy Story follows a husband-and-wife team as they risk everything to prove there's another way.

Over 20 years David and Wilma transformed Rainton Farm from a conventional family dairy farm to organic, then regenerative, and now a pioneering nature-based cow-with-calf dairy system. 

A Dairy Story shows how changing a farming system changes everything; from the lives of the animals to the wellbeing of the farmers, and perhaps even the future of dairy farming itself.

For our discussion after the film, we will be joined by Debra and Tom Willoughby from Grange Farm, who have swapped their organic dairy farm for an agroforestry project - planting thousands of fruit and nut trees. alongside food and fodder crops.
