Kenilworth Dairies has a rich history in the dairy industry. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Mary Valley and Sunshine Coast hinterland it is no wonder our products are fresh and full of passion. The dairy industry is nothing new to fourth generation dairy farmer, John Cochrane. Originally from Kin Kin, John was taught the ‘ins and outs’ of dairying from his Father and Mother, Alan and Mavis Cochrane. For the past 93 years a Cochrane has represented Queensland dairy farmers on various dairy boards, a real testament to the family’s passion and commitment to the industry. As many farmers know, dairy farming is hard and only for the truly passionate. Over the years John watched as many of his neighbours and friends sold their properties to stay afloat. As a result, John transformed his passion for dairy farming into something great. In 2017, John Cochrane became the new owner of the Kenilworth Cheese Factory and renamed it to Kenilworth Dairies. John envisioned Kenilworth Dairies as a way of supporting and ensuring the survival of local farmers in the region. Within weeks, Kenilworth Dairies was sourcing milk from local farms in the Mary Valley. One farm being Johns own son, Kelvin Cochrane in nearby Kandanga. Kenilworth Dairies will continue to support local farms and their families for generations to come.

We love Australia, and we love being Australian. That’s why 96% of the fresh fruit & veg we sell comes from Australia, grown by true-blue farmers right across the country. 100% of our fresh meat comes from here, too. This love has led us to get involved with lots of different communities all over the country, in lots of different ways. But it’s a big country, and hearing everyone’s voice isn't always easy. That’s where this page comes in, because it’s the perfect place to stay in touch with us and everyone else in our community. Share your ideas, tell us what you like, and let us know what you think we could do better. Plus, we’ll keep you up to date with heaps of handy news, offers, competitions and more. This is a shared place, and we want everyone to enjoy it. Just like our stores, it’s a family environment with people of all ages, so please keep that in mind, be respectful of others, and don’t post things that aren't in the right spirit – nothing rude or offensive.
