We Care For The Quality of Your Milk

The commitment to wholesome, quality dairy products begins on our farm. Milk and dairy products undergo a number of safety, quality and sanitation procedures, making them among the most highly regulated and safest foods available to consumers. Milk offers a powerful package of calcium and eight essential nutrients for your family.

All milk is pure and wholesome.

All milk is free of antibiotics and pesticides.

We Care For Our Community

Dairies are economic engines. Studies show that every dollar we spend generates another $2.50 in local economic activity. A dairy with 1,000 cows has an economic impact of $13.7 million on its community each year. We’re more than part of the landscape; we’re part of the social and economic fabric. Milk doesn’t stay on the farm; where milk goes more jobs are created. Dairies like ours hire workers, purchase machinery, trucks, fuel and more from local companies, which generates jobs and income. Dairies create jobs for crop growers, veterinarians, insurance agents, accountants, bankers and others. We work to preserve our dairy and to ensure that our community prospers and our way of life continues for generations to come.

We Care For Our Environment

Farms contribute to the economy, food security and environmental protection. We have an ethical obligation and a vested interest to farm sustainably. We live on the land we work, we drink water from our wells and we swim in nearby lakes and streams. We follow environmental and public health regulations, and farmers assisted NYS DEC in developing environmental regulations for dairy and livestock farms. We reduce our carbon footprint by reducing, reusing and recycling. We make significant investments each year to recycle nutrients appropriately on cropland. We are committed to protecting land and water quality for generations to come.

We Believe in Dairying

As dairy farmers we believe in farm life, in our community and in providing you with nutritious food. We believe in improving the land and making it more productive, in protecting the soil, and in providing excellent care for our animals. We are committed to continuous environmental improvement. We know this commitment is required to sustain our dream, and our way of life. Every day we milk cows, and we strive to gain a better understanding of our entire production process, because the healthiness of your milk products is a great source of pride for us.

We Care For Our Cows

As dairy farmers, we are ethically driven to treat our cows humanely. Just like Olympic athletes, to achieve high performance and remain healthy, cows must eat nutritious feed. Sound nutrition includes a consistent, scientifically balanced diet with home grown feed and purchased ingredients, along with plentiful, fresh water. When humane care, comfortable surroundings and a balanced diet come together, our cows produce the most milk. We keep our cows in barns to protect them from predators, disease and extreme climate. Housing is designed to maximize comfort for the cow and it makes it easier for us to care for them. Modern housing is comfortable, well-ventilated, well-lit, warm and clean.
