Rachel Rowlands

FOUNDER OF RACHEL’S ORGANIC DAIRY PRODUCTS

Still living on her family’s organic farm near Borth, Ceredigion, Rachel Rowlands has run her company from home since 1982. First named Rachel’s Dairy in 1984, Rachel’s Organic grew rapidly in the 1990s as interest in organic produce took root. Prince Charles opened an expansion to the dairy in 1998, which ensured many jobs for the local company. Now owned by French company Lactalis, Rachel and her husband Gareth remain company consultants in their retirement.
