Nestled in the heart of mid-Michigan is our small organic dairy farm and creamery that makes honest-to-goodness, old-fashioned cultured yogurt and whole milk products. All our products are made from scratch in our on-farm creamery using the rich, creamy milk from our 100% grass-fed Jersey cows. We make each product by-hand, with integrity, and with high-quality ingredients to bring you the nutrient-dense foods you’re looking for.

We have a small herd of Jersey cows, and all the girls (cows) have names. You’ll find our girls grazing in the pastures from spring through fall and eating harvested hay throughout the winter. Our girls are grass-fed only and non-confined. They’re happy and content and spend their days doing what cows should be doing – enjoying the outdoors and giving creamy, healthy milk.

Our milk contains high butterfat!
“Butterfat is rich in short- and medium-chain fatty acids which protect against disease and stimulate the immune system. It contains glycospingolipids which prevent intestinal distress and conjugated linoleic acid which has strong anticancer properties.”

We keep a closed herd, which means we do not bring in cows from other sources. This protects our girls from disease and viruses being brought onto the farm from other animals. We raise our cows right from birth.
