About

We work really hard to maintain these natural standards so that our fields do not need to be sprayed with any man-made chemicals or herbicides. Our Holstein dairy cows are 100% grass fed, antibiotic- and hormone-free. We believe that grass has benefits for our cows as well as their milk. The cows are put out to pasture from early Spring to late Fall. During the Winter, they are kept in a comfortable stall barn and are let out daily for exercise and fresh air. In these months, we feed them bales of hay from our chemical-free fields. Studies have proven the nutritional benefits of pastured cows. Data shows that these cows produce milk that is significantly higher in Omega-3, CLA, and Vitamin E. Studies have also shown that grass fed milk contains the ideal ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acids.
