Small Island Dairy

Sarah Swadling visits Troytown on St Agnes to meet the Hicks family, Isles of Scilly dairy farmers.

St Agnes is the most southerly of the Isles of Scilly. It's home to the Hicks family and their very small herd of dairy cows. The cows provide milk for St Agnes' 80 or so residents, and summer ice cream sold across Scilly. As Sarah Swadling finds out, nothing is straightforward about running a farm on a tiny island in the Atlantic off Cornwall. Even the bull has to have sea legs.
