The company was founded in 1948 by Joseph Dickinson and his brother Edgar Dickinson. The company is named after the farm in Hade Edge, near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire at which the dairy was formerly based and all of its products are popular across the north of England with certain key products, cottage cheese in particular, being popular nationally and others popular internationally. HistoryThe company was founded in 1948 by Joseph and Edgar Dickinson after they inherited a {{convert|30|acre|adj=on}} farm near to Holmfirth in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[3] Initially just having a few head of cattle, they farmed the land and with their herd of Jersey cows they first started producing cream in 1954 after wartime food rationing had ended.[4] In the early days of the venture, Joseph Dickinson would deliver products to the Morrisons market stall run by Ken Morrison in Bradford.[5] The company branched out into making yoghurts and after Joseph Dickinson had visited an American farm in the early 1970s, they also started making cottage cheese. To start with, the cheese was made in tin baths and stirred with hay rakes before more suitable processes were adapted. Longley Farm were the first European company to make cottage cheese on an industrial scale and sell it.[6] The cottage cheese brand is very popular in France, despite initial predictions that you could not sell a non-French sounding cheese to the French.[6] As wells as owning their own 250-strong herd of Jersey cattle, the company takes milk from another 80 farms across Yorkshire, of which, 25 are Jersey herds. They process over {{convert|40,000,000|litre|order=flip}} of milk per year.[6] The first commercial wind turbine in Great Britain was installed at Longley Farm in 1986. It was rated at 90 kW and stood at over {{convert|32|m|order=flip}} high.[7] It was replaced in September 2015 with a newer model which is {{convert|46|m|order=flip}} tall and produces 400 kWh.[8][9] In 1990, the brothers Dickinson bought a {{convert|1,000|acre|adj=on}} farm near Barnsley.[10] All the cattle were moved to this farm and as such, the dairy processing was moved there too. Production of cheese and yoghurts was retained at the Longley Farm site.[3] Both Dickinson brothers retired in 1997 and Joseph's son, Jimmy, took over running the business.[3][11] Food scareIn 2003, three Yorkshire pensioners from the Huddersfield area, died from a strain of listeria which was determined to be in butter that they had consumed. As a precaution, Longley Farm withdrew certain products from sale and recalled other batches of stock. An investigation later determined that the farm was clean and the poisoning outbreak had nothing to do with any Longley Farm product. At that time, it was the first health scare connected with the company in its 55-year history.[12] PopularityThe firms products regularly feature in the winners category for dairy products at the Great Yorkshire Show[1][13] and have grown to be popular outside of Yorkshire with many people enjoying them internationally.[14] Some of the supermarkets in the United Kingdom sell Longley Farm products throughout Yorkshire, with Morrisons and Asda selling them nationally.[1] The Telegraph described the yoghurts produced by Longley farm as being "...natural, exceptionally good and simple fruit yogurts from this small dairy."[15] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Zientek|first1=Henrykk|title=Longley Farm wins Great Yorkshire Show award for best product|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/longley-farm-wins-great-yorkshire-5016818|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=20 July 2009}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Zientek|first1=Henryk|title=Longley Farm staff get de-stressed|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/business/longley-farm-staff-get-de-stressed-4983065|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=11 January 2011}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Farm of the Week: Success is enough cottage cheese to fill York Minster|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/farm-of-the-week-success-is-enough-cottage-cheese-to-fill-york-minster-1-2317540|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=18 December 2009}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Zientekek|first1=Henryk|title=Longley Farm celebrates 60 years with awards to long-serving staff|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/longley-farm-celebrates-60-years-5007679|accessdate=25 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=10 December 2009}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Royal visit: Princess Royal tours Longley Farm|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/royal-visit-princess-royal-tours-5022426|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=29 April 2009}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|title=The family recipe for dairy products with a difference|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/the-family-recipe-for-dairy-products-with-a-difference-1-2315655|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=9 December 2009}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=It’s Our World: Longley Farm to launch wind turbine community eco-project|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/its-world-longley-farm-launch-6473929|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=7 January 2014}} 8. ^{{cite news|last1=Himelfield|first1=Dave|title=Plaque could be installed in memory of UK's first commercial turbine at Longley Farm|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/longley-farm-wind-turbine-holmfirth-9380823|accessdate=30 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=3 June 2015}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Douglas|first1=Joanne|title=This wind turbine is making money - here's how you can get some|url=https://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/holmfirth-wind-turbine-generates-cash-12574650|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=Huddersfield Examiner|date=9 February 2017}} 10. ^{{cite news|title=Edgar Dickinson|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/obituaries/edgar-dickinson-1-3631207|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=30 July 2011}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=Edgar Dickinson|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/obituaries/edgar-dickinson-1-3631207|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=30 July 2011}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Tests clear dairy of blame over bug deaths|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/tests-clear-dairy-of-blame-over-bug-deaths-1-2523328|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=17 July 2003}} 13. ^{{cite news|title=2007 attendance high despite miserable weather|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/2007-attendance-high-despite-miserable-weather-1-2464012|accessdate=31 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=8 July 2008}} 14. ^1 {{cite news|title=Tributes to a dairy farming adventurer|url=https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/environment/tributes-to-a-dairy-farming-adventurer-1-4717259|accessdate=26 January 2018|work=The Yorkshire Post|date=9 July 2012}} 15. ^{{cite news|title=Savvy shopper: yoghurt|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/healthyeating/3323752/Savvy-shopper-yoghurt.html|accessdate=25 January 2018|work=The Telegraph|date=6 January 2006}} 4 : Dairy products companies of the United Kingdom|British companies established in 1948|Companies based in Kirklees|Brand name yogurts |
