Happy Cow Milk Company

Happy Cow Milk Company Real, good milk! Made as it should be by small pasture-fed happy herds living on sustainable ethical family farms. But by 2018, he had to admit defeat.

We’re disrupting dairy with a new model that puts the power with the people. The Happy Cow story is one that owes its success so far to the fans who have backed it. Founder Glen Herud first attempted to re-invent dairy back in 2014 with leased land and his own milk processing and bottling system. The model he'd built just couldn't scale. The Happy Cow community refused to let Glen quit and support

ed him financially while he rethought the entire business from scratch. What emerged from that is a nifty milk factory-in-a-box that is the backbone of Happy Cow 2.0. The crowd lent its support again, fully subscribing to the first equity funding round of $400k in just eight hours, and a second equity campaign in 2021 raised $566,355. This funding has allowed Glen and the growing team to build the equipment and systems required to build the "Milk Factory In a Box". Happy Cow Milk has recently launched in 2022, with its first farmer in the Waikato, NZ. The next step is to scale up the impact of this system that connects local farmers to local customers - with zero packaging! Anyone can host a Happy Cow distribution point. Schools, cafes and workplaces are just a few that can take this up. To register your interest in being a retailer, visit:

🚜🥛 Big News on the Farm! 🥛🚜
Today is the day we’re installing our Milk Factory in a Box right in the cow shed! 🐄✨

After 6 months of hard work, we’re thrilled to introduce a game-changing solution that makes it easier than ever for farmers to sell their fresh milk directly to their local community.

With a 1,000-litre pasteuriser and an automated bottle filling & washing system, farmers will be able to process and bottle 1,000 litres of milk in just a couple of hours! 🙌

This is a HUGE step forward in making fresh, local milk more accessible to everyone, and that's the goal!

Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out this exciting innovation!

Trying to reduce methane emissions from animals is pointless.

We've been asked a lot about methane inhibitors.

We are not going to be using them. We don't believe in them.

Below is a quick rundown on why we won't be using Bovaer and similar products.

The Best Thing You Can Do for Yourself and Your Family: Be Mindful of What You Eat!

Taking care of yourself and your loved ones starts with one of the most powerful choices you make every day: the food you put into your body. 🍎🥦🥛

The meals you eat fuel your energy, mood, and long-term health. When we choose whole, nutritious foods, we’re not just nourishing our bodies — we’re setting the foundation for a healthier, more vibrant life for ourselves and those we care about. 💪❤️

Whether it’s choosing more whole food options like whole cream milk, cutting back on processed foods, or cooking more meals at home, every step counts.

Take control of what you put on your body today, and watch how it transforms your health tomorrow. 💚

Did you know that the type of milk you use can make or break the quality of your homemade cheese? 🥛✨ To get that creamy, flavorful cheese you’ve been dreaming of, it’s crucial to choose the right milk!

👉 Here’s what you need to know:

Use whole milk — fresh and with at least 4% fat for the best results!

Raw or pasteurized? Both can work, but avoid homogenised or standardised varieties.

Why? These can affect both the quality and nutritional value of your cheese!

So next time you're making cheese, remember: the milk you choose is just as important as the recipe! 🧀💪

Ever wondered where the cream goes in non-homogenised milk? 🥛✨ The cream naturally rises to the top after about two to three days in the fridge, creating a delicious layer that you can scoop off and enjoy!

But is non-homogenised milk healthier for you? Many believe it is! Without the homogenisation process, this milk retains more of its natural fats and nutrients, providing a richer flavor and texture. Plus, whole milk may help with nutrient absorption and keep you feeling fuller longer.

Have you tried our farm fresh non-homogenised milk?

Fun fact you may not have known🐄
Calves learn a lot from their mothers. They can imitate behaviours like grazing and finding safe food. They're also playful which helps them improve their coordination and social skills. This play is important for their growth and helps them bond with other calves in the herd!

🚀 We’re building the Milk Factory in a Box Version 2!🥛

We think that it would be great if farmers could sell their farm fresh milk direct to their local communities.

This compact milk factory will allow one operator to process and bottle 1,000 litres of milk in just a few hours.

We think that by making these factories accessible to more farmers, we’ll enable:

🌱 Access to Local, Fresh Milk
🚚 Shorter Travel Distance
🤝 Stronger Local Food Systems
🐄 Sustainable Farming Practices & Animal Welfare

This means the local community will have access to fresh, healthy options without depending on distant big suppliers.

Going back to what made dairy special in the first place!

🌟 Milk Delivery Update 🌟
We want to take a moment to sincerely apologies for the delays in milk deliveries you’ve been experiencing lately.

We’ve added a new delivery driver to help with the growing number of orders. However, things haven’t been as smooth as we’d like, and we recognise that some deliveries have been arriving later than expected.

The good news? We’re partnering with a third-party delivery company to make our deliveries more efficient! 🚚✨ We hope to roll out this service in the next couple of weeks, which will allow us to use multiple delivery vans. This means all milk will be delivered before 12 PM!

Our goal is to deliver the milk earlier and make it easier for you to pick up your milk whenever it suits you throughout the day.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we make these improvements. We truly appreciate it! 💙🥛

Dispensers are nearly out of milk for the week!

The combination of upgrading our equipment, new staff and school holidays means we cannot process any more milk for the week.

We delivered fresh milk today but cannot refill the dispensers for the rest of this week.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience and normal service will resume on Monday.

Ps, we had a plan in place to ensure we didn't run out of milk, but we had the biggest week of milk sales ever this week and our "reserve" milk went to new customers.

This steady increase in demand has meant we needed to upgrade our equipment, and unfortunately. There is no perfect time to do this.

Thanks for your continued support.

Kinder, greener, fairer dairy

Happy Cow Milk Company is on a mission to bring kinder, greener, fairer dairy to New Zealand and the world.

We’ve filed provisional patents on our revolutionary “milk factory in a box”, which will disrupt dairy in the same way that music and transport industries have been disrupted.

We believe dairy is broken.

Too many emissions, too many nitrates and too much packaging that doesn’t get recycled. The consequences are climate change, polluted rivers and plastics piling up.
