How We Do It
Working in sustainable harmony
Because of our scale, we are able to create a farm ecosystem that supports and relies upon the cows, the land and the people who produce it.
Click around to understand why.
Cows
Milk
Our cows produce over 100,000 gallons per day.
Technology
Electronic identification chips track all major life events including birth records, health care and vaccinations.
Breeding
Our scientific breeding process helps us yield a majority of heifers (because you can’t milk a bull).
Care
We have consulting veterinarians who visit every two weeks in addition to on-staff vet techs and we use only homeopathic treatments.
Feed
We grow organic feed specifically for our cows which is tested regularly to ensure that our cows are getting the nutrients they need.
People
Training
Our comprehensive training program ensures that our team members are knowledgeable, prepared and supported.

Land
Machinery and equipment

Test and learn
With lower risk, we are able to test procedures and practices in an effort to develop new industry standards.
Assurance
We believe that it all starts with the land – producing enough quality, organic feed for all of our cows.
Fertilization
We distribute fertilizer twice daily, directed by our nutrient management plan, farm operators and agronomists.

Our equipment has specialized GPS technology that helps us observe, measure and respond to changes with the land.

This technology tracks and helps us optimize our water usage in order to conserve resources.
