Arla Organic Farm Milk supports UK Coffee Week
Arla Organic Farm Milk has announced that it will be the sponsor of UK Coffee Week, a campaign that takes place in thousands of coffee shops across the country to support the coffee growing communities around the world.
Taking place from 10 – 16 April, 100% of donations received from UK Coffee Week will go to Project Waterfall, an initiative dedicated to bringing clean water facilities to coffee growing communities.
Of the 2.2 billion cups of coffee made in coffee shops each year, a vast majority feature milk, making Arla Organic Farm Milk an ideal partner for the initiative. Launched late 2016 by Arla Foods, the farmer owner dairy company, Arla Organic Farm Milk is the latest addition to the Arla portfolio which has seen significant innovation in the last two years.
Rachel Glendenning, foodservice business controller at Arla Foods UK, explains, “Arla supplies milk in to leading coffee shops around the UK, so it makes perfect sense for Arla Organic Farm Milk to get involved. I’m delighted that our farmers and colleagues are also getting involved to support farmers in other parts of the world.”
Arla farmer owner, Ian Pye, an organic dairy farmer near Preston, Lancashire, adds, “I am delighted to be involved with UK Coffee Week. As an organic dairy farmer, I see the importance of sustainable farming practices. Supporting Project Waterfall through UK Coffee Week, visitors to our farm café, and my family, can make a difference to support sustainable coffee farming around the world.”
As part of UK Coffee Week, Arla Organic Farm Milk hosted a Latte Art Throwdown, hosted at The Gentleman’s Barista in London Bridgeon yesterday (12 April). It saw baristas compete to show off their best and most innovative latte art skills in a series of challenges.
