Wholly Gelato& Milk

Farm-made. Family-owned. Seriously good gelato. Fresh milk from our free-range herd, turned into artisan gelato right here on the farm.

The Wholly Way

From Our Herd to Your Scoop

The milk and the gelato are produced fresh on the farm, close to where the herd is milked. This is the journey at the heart of everything we make.

The Farm

Welcome to Barhouse Farm

Barhouse Farm is a working farm, a family home, and the home of the Wholly herd — as well as our small gelato retail hatch and the Milkbot. Visitors are welcome during opening hours to see farm life, the calves and the milking herd.

We farm approximately 290 acres with cows grazing freely during the warmer months, and we believe our cows are healthier and happier outdoors, living just as nature intended.

Around 155 cows, all with their own quirks and foibles, grazing freely during the warmer months.

Meet the Milkbot
