Abstract
The invention relates to an automated on-farm production process for several types of dairy products on demand, comprising the following automated steps: electronically receiving a dairy product order from a consumer; filling a tank (10) with milk directly from milking; filling a batch of containers (46) from the tank; passing the batch of containers through at least one processing module (16) configured to apply a processing step adapted to the ordered dairy product; storing the processed contents of the batch of containers in a controlled atmosphere module (24); and, upon request from the consumer on-site, packaging the processed contents of the batch of containers in a form presentable to the consumer.
