24.01.2022 At Betta Milk we know what constitutes great milk - it's the stuff that comes from healthy Tasmanian cows, and we should know as we distribute 12 million litres of it around the State each year. But, there's a healthy (or un-healthy) debate raging around the world about what constitutes MILK. Surely when it comes to milk, the cow is sacred! http://www.abc.net.au//dairy-farmers-push-to-tight/8790294

24.01.2022 The Betta Milk brand has been built around a sense of community. We support the communities that support us and together we make Tassie a better place.

The 2019 Tasmanian Community Awards are now open and we encourage you to identify the people in our area that are worthy of nominat...ion in this years' awards. http://bit.ly/TASCAA_Nom See more
