Dave and I started this whole thing 35 yrs ago.
We bought a 105 acre piece of property when we were both working at jobs in town. Dave was the one who wanted to farm, so in 1977, we purchased another 149 acres. This property is where we still have our milking herd.
We started out milking 20 cows in a Stanchion barn where we could milk 4 cows at a time. We milked at noon and midnight to accommodate our 3:30pm to 12:00 am in town jobs.
We now have a herd of 120 cows, milk 16 cows at a time, and milk at regular milking hours.
We had Luke in 1975. We had Paul in 1977, and Holly was born in 1979. We raised all three kids on our dairy farm.
When the kids graduated from school they moved away. Not too much time passed, and they decided that they wanted to come back to the farm. We knew we had to add value to our production to be able to support 4 families.
We started investigating milk-in-glass. Dave reads a lot, and this idea was working in other parts of the country.
Now, 7 years later, we have been selling our valued customers fresh-wholesome milk for the last 5 years.
