+Our farming philosophy
+Community +Cows +Crops
+Community
From a community standpoint we focus on employee well-being and regard partnerships with our neighbors and surrounding towns as an integral part to our dairies.
-
Donation source of fresh dairy for our local backpack programs and food co-ops
-
Planted 2,200 trees, grassy buffer strips along ditches and waterways, and native grasses
-
Add over $213.4 million to the regional economy through job creation and purchases of crops, services and supplies
+Cows
Raising our animals is done with compassion and attention to sustainability. We are able to reuse and recycle with cow comfort in mind.
-
Annual third party audits access our practices for animal care
-
Water that is used to cool milk before shipping is recycled for cow drinking and cooling
-
Sand our cows lay on is constantly recycled through a flow separation system
+Crops
We use regenerative farming practices such as reduce-till, cover crops, crop rotation, and natural fertilizers to promote biodiversity, control erosion, and improve our ecosystems.
-
Cover crops add organic matter to soil, protect it from erosion, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
-
Reduce-till benefits top-soil health and retains CO2 in the soil
-
Crop rotation mitigates the number of pathogens and pests and improves the soil structure and biomass
-
All fertilizer is produced by our animals (manure) and is applied responsibly through proper testing and analysis
