About Us
Our Story
Hello and welcome from the Mackenzie Family! We live at Rootfield Farm on the beautiful Black Isle in the heart of the Highlands and launched Black Isle Dairy in 2013.
I’m a fourth-generation dairy farmer and along with my wife, daughters and small team, make artisan dairy products, including award winning gelato-style ice cream, natural yoghurt and whole unhomogenised milk, available to buy from our Self-Service Farm Shop. Our traditional mixed herd of Holsteins, Ayrshires and Jerseys spend six months grazing on gently sloping grasslands above the Strathconon Valley and are milked by state-of-the-art robots.
The happy herd provides the luscious whole milk for all Black Isle Dairy’s products, which are also available to buy from selected Highland outlets.
Thank you for supporting local!
