We are proud to be the first dairy east of the Mississippi with American Humane Certification™. The American Humane Certified certification program is the United States’ first animal welfare program dedicated to the humane treatment of farm animals. It is the fastest-growing independent animal welfare label program in the U.S. with certified producers representing some 1 billion farm animals through American Humane Association’s science-based program. Contracted third-party auditors are rigorously trained in American Humane Certified species-specific standards. As consumers and retailers are increasingly concerned about how food is raised, producers are seeking independent verification for the marketplace. The American Humane Certified program works closely with its independent Scientific Advisory Committee, agricultural professionals and producers to ensure that advances in farm animal welfare and best practices are part of American Humane Association’s certification standards.

Fresh milk starts on our dairy farm where we milk 1700 cows, 3 times every day. The milking process takes just 5 hours each time, using our state-of-the-art milking carousel, for a total of 15 hours a day. The milking carousel has streamlined our milking operation and allowed us to increase our production significantly. After the milking process is complete, we quick chill each batch of milk from 100 degrees right from the cow to 33 degrees in just 8 minutes. This locks in freshness and preserves quality. Our quick-chilled milk is taken to our processing plant on our own fleet of trucks several times per day.

Located right on the farm, our milk processing plant is where we bottle all of our milk, drinks and ice cream for delivery to retailers and distributors across the northeast US. Our milk processing plant receives deliveries of quick-chilled milk from our dairy cows several times per day. Our processing facility recently underwent a complete transformation with key upgrades designed to improve our processes and expand our product lines. We replaced every tank in our facility with new stainless steel tanks. We also added new processing equipment, a new cooler and a larger freezer for our ice cream.

The farm shop is the center of all of our farming operations which includes the management of over 3000 acres of farmland. All of our crops are grown to feed our dairy herd.The farm shop is also host to our transportation department and full-service garage which services and maintains all of our farm equipment and our fleet of over the road delivery trucks. Our transportation department performs maintenance and repairs on over 45 tractors and 60 trailers that drive over 3 million miles per year delivering our farm fresh products to retailers and wholesalers from Virginia to New England.
