Boora Bainne - supplying real milk to loyal customers
When an Offaly dairy farmer was looking at different alternatives to make his farm more profitable he came upon the idea of selling fresh milk from his cows directly to the public from vending machines.
Paul Molloy set up a pasteurising plant on his farm, which is located on the edge of the beautiful Lough Boora Discovery Park in West Offaly in 2021, and has been selling pasteurised milk directly to the public ever since under the company name of Boora Bainne.
Paul has a herd of 140 cows, and what makes the Boora Bainne milk different to other brands is that is it pasteurised, but not standardised or homogenised. It is perfectly safe to drink as well as tasting and looking like real milk (the cream even rises to the top).
Boora Bainne is a registered pasteurising facility which sells real milk and flavoured milk through a dispenser vending machine on the Molloy farm in Boora. The company also sells reusable glass bottles which customers can fill, wash and reuse which makes a significant contribution to the circular economy and to sustainability in the current era of climate challenge.
All glass bottles used by Boora Bainne are sourced locally from Glass Innovations in Ferbane, and the company is delighted to announce that they will have special Christmas bottles available for the month of December.
Boora Bainne also stocks a full range of flavoured milk, with strawberry being the most popular flavour. They have up to 20 flavours available, with everything from chocolate to banana, salted caramel, honeycomb and many more.
Customers can also avail of bulk collections of pasteurised milk in five, ten or 20 litre containers.
Paul Molloy is very grateful to the many loyal customers who have supported Boora Bainne to date and he is hoping to expand the business in the coming years and to continue to supply his top quality milk to the local community.
