Customers arrive at 'The Milk Well' at Bellfield Farm on Well Lane. Equipped with vending machines for the farm's milk, as well as for glass bottles and coffee, the shop opened in late October 2022. (For an inside view, see Image). Founded in 1928, the original 'Botanic' pedigree herd took its name from the former Botanic railway station in Hull. Today the 200-acre farm on greenbelt land between Willerby and Cottingham has 70 Holstein and Jersey cows. The farm joins an estimated 400 others around the UK which are turning to selling milk directly to consumers from vending machines in an attempt to counter the low wholesale prices paid to farmers.
