Right, settle a dispute for me

Can you buy fresh milk on site? And where from? I swear you can, but my mate pooh poohs the notion. And thinking of it, I'd love some lovely fresh milk on me Jordan's clusters

[Mardy]

yeahm you  can, loads of it, 50-60p a pint, it's great, I always drink loads of it, there's some stalls and also a tractor thing that sells it.

[Dannyboolahlah]

you can indeed.

I think it was 50p a pint or something, and had a special glasto label

somewhere near the leftfield, or where it used to be anyway

[r0cky]

I've bought it from the tractor that drives around the campsite before.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Yep, as Mardy says guy on a tractor goes around selling it. Lovely stuff as well, and did you know that they make cheese from milk

[randy marsh]

I love the milk tractor... But i swear its £1 a pint. Still, well worth it for a cold fresh one first thing in the morning!

We've all heard it can be bought on site, but no one ever seems to have any detail as to where exactly. "A tractor thing" is all very well, but Worthy Farm is a big busy place and most of those tractor things have tanks behind them with contents you certainly wouldn't want a pint of with your breakfast... Anyone got any specific directions?!

[Runner]

Yep, a couple of places, but the tractor that drives around the campsites is probably the most popular as it saves you having to walk too far  

[GingerRock]

Yeah, the tractor that heads down from the farm sells it off the back. And there's plenty of stalls.

"Milky Milky!"

[tinpottery]

CHASE THE TRACTOR!

When I camped in Pennard, the "tractor thing" drove along the metal roadway, and they were shouting "milk" or something like that.  Happened to be near the walkway, so it was like doorstop delivery almost.  

[septemberwillow]

I am sure that we bought some at a little stall virtually on Oxylers Bridge last year - on the route from the Other Stage to the Pyramid. Not too far from where we were camped at the bottom of Park Home Ground.

Also the milk tractor comes round the campsites every morning but (correct if I am wrong) it only seemed to appear really late morning where we were so it was a bit too late for my cereal  

[Mardy]

yeahm sam, there's definitely a place as you walk up the mian drag past the jazzworld (on your left) heading to the green fields, there's a small chemist/pharmacy at the op, by the gate and a milk place next to that.


sorry, that's a dreadful explanation, I'll show you when we're on the real ale crawl  

[milky_26]

rufus, are you trying to get cheese mentioned on every thread?


oh and by the way i like a nice bit of cheese with milk

A good spot is the Family field at Cockmills, that is where it gets on and off the site...

[emeeuk]

The water stalls were selling it too IIRC

Milk and alcohol, marvellous

The tanker sounds like a (brilliant) bit of a hit and miss thing. As I'll have my Dad with us, I would like somewhere to send him off to whilst we're sleeping to bring back milk, I'll try that Jazzword place Mardy, cheers.. I suppose the alternative is to track down the cows and help yourself to source

Yoghurt is also a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk  

BTW the tractor guys are great but over the 4 mornings last year I only saw them once!! Top directions to a Milk stall would be super!! Is there anything on Glasto Earth? Id check but we cant use Google Earth in work!
