I can hear you all shouting Asda or a cow! lol. But while doing my shopping in Asda on Friday, I needed an extra couple of pints, so went and picked up my usual semi skimmed. Then the label on the milk next to it caught my eye. It was called Definitely Yorkshire Milk......and a was 2p cheaper than the usual. According to the carton it is from a farm in Whitby. So does your Asda sell milk from your local area? I'm sat here now with me flat cap on and me whippet at me feet, drinking Yorkshire tea, brewed for Yorkshire water with Defintiely Yorkshire Milk in it! LOL

Depending on where I buy my milk it either comes from Knutsford, Cheshire or Seaton Ross, York. mind I do buy goat's milk so choice is limited and it is dear! about £1.20 per litre, I wouldn't bother if I could drink cows milk

I have a semi skinned from Iceland which just says, British milk & a skinned milk from Tesco which says West Country Milk. I will look a little closer next time I buy, as I do try to buy local where possible. Vivienne

I do still get most of my milk delivered by the milkman, but I must admit I have no idea whereabouts the milk actually comes from. I do quite like the idea that the milk in Asda is local..........well reasonably........only 60 miles away!

I prefer the taste of Cravendale which i have no doubt is mass produced somewhere.

Jeanette....I had to root in the fridge to find the milk (it was behind the Vodka)....and it says ' Organic...comes from cows grazing at Coombe Farm farms in Somerset and Dorset, then bottled at Coombe Farm Dairy or our own Leckford Estate dairy, Hampshire' Bought in Waitrose, London....XXX BC
