OUR FARM
Our Holstein and Brown Swiss cows are milked twice daily and all of our calves are raised right here on the farm. Our cows and heifers are fed a grass-based diet balanced with the perfect amount of proteins and minerals.
We work closely with a veterinarian who visits the dairy weekly to monitor the health of the cows. A cow nutritionist also helps us craft the weekly menu to ensure the most balanced and healthy diet for our cows.
You could say we treat our cows like family here!

Happy World Milk Day from our family to yours! We are so grateful for these beautiful cows that bring the goodness of fresh milk to our fridge every day. They are the real superhero's of the dairy industry and we appreciate all their hard work! #teamdairy #enjoydairy #junedairymonth #cow #thankyou #naturemostperfectfood
Today is also known as Farmer Cross Fit Day! In 5 long days we have packed and covered over 8,200 tons of corn silage. This will help feed our cows and heifers for the next year. We chop the whole corn stalk and pack it in this bunk. The protective cover reduces the oxygen and will cause the corn silage to ferment. This makes for a more digestible and highly palatable forage that is an important staple in our cows diet. This process also helps preserve as much of the nutrients such as protein and sugars. BUT, we are not quite finished yet! Next, we will start the "drive over piles" which are just smaller piles of packed corn silage. We hope to end up with around with around 14,000 tons of corn silage. Corn season is one of the most stressful times of the year. But once this big pit is full and covered, we all start breathing a little easier. It definitely takes a village, and we are grateful for our village that work exceptional long and tiring hours to get it done. From land preparation that starts in February to completion in late May. Here's to hoping the next few days go as smooth as the last few!
