History

Established in 2008.

Our family has been dairy farming in the Battenkill Valley region of Upstate, NY for more than a century. Our farm has steadily grown from 12 cows when my grandfather took over to our current size of 350 cows.

Our herd consists of Holsteins, Jerseys and Holstein-​Jersey crossbreeds.

In 2003, our family began contemplating the idea of bottling our own milk right here on the farm. After extensive research, we began to move forward with the concept.

In February of 2007 we began renovating our existing machine shed into our creamery. After a year of hard work, we began bottling our own, local farm fresh milk! Our first processing day was February 15^th, 2008. Our milk goes from our cows to our bottles in less than eight hours! We take pride in providing our customers with the freshest milk possible.

As of February 2009 we started producing our Truly Homemade, Super Premium Ice Cream. The following May we opened our ice cream parlor at our Creamery Store in Salem, NY.
