OUR STORY
From our family, to yours
LOCAL SUPPLY CHAIN
We named this cutie Wilbur!
When other brands left the UK to cut costs, we stayed. Why? Because we rely on our world-class farms here at home to craft the world’s most natural baby formula.
We believe the best ingredients are those grown locally. We believe in supporting local family farmers and farms. We believe our children deserve a better baby milk.
Local supply chain means traceability, sustainability and knowing every step of the process, from farm to formula.
We don’t produce for any other brands or supermarkets, so if you’re after high quality and local British supply chain, it has to be Kendamil!

Made with love, without the nasties

OUR HOME
Welcome to the Lake District
Kendal is located in the English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage site and home to some of your favourite characters like Peter Rabbit and Postman Pat. It isn’t always sunny (or dry!) but it creates the perfect climate for our happy cows and organic farms. Regular rainfall enriches the grass with minerals that our Jersey cows munch on year-round.
