National Dairy Quality Awards!

We are honored and thrilled to be a recipient of the National Dairy Quality Awards! We received a Gold, and this is our third year in a row of being recognized.

We were nominated by Brittni Tucker at our co-op, and the description reads: "These operations stood out for having produced high-quality milk consistently Applications were evaluated for measures of quality, systems of monitoring udder health, milking routine, protocols for detection and treatment of clinical and subclinical cases of mastitis, and strategies for overall herd health and welfare."

Thank you to the sponsors, especially Hoard's Dairyman, and thank you especially to our team members. It's because of their dedication and attention to detail that our cows are so well cared for and produce such great, high-quality milk. 

Hello 2022!

"At the beginning of a new year, it’s always interesting to look back and catalog how much you forgot from the last one. We’re heading into our 15th year of farming, our 20th year of marriage, and the 144th year of our farm and home. What does that mean?

Well, it means we’re not doing home improvement as much as just trying to hold the house together until the next person lives in it. We’ve made changes every year on the farm, right after saying, “It’ll be nice to just have things the same.” And of course, we’ve been married two decades, so we have the long-married power of knowing what each other is thinking just by facial expressions. Happy? Sad? Bewildered by our children? Yes to all. Let’s see where last year has taken us."
