Dairy Cows

In 2016, our family started renting a home on a Mennonite dairy farm. By December of 2017, we had our very own family milk cow. Cocoa was only 2 weeks old when we got her. She is a crossbred dairy cow comprised of NZ Fresian, Holstein, Brown Swiss, and Swedish Red & White. Her milk is A2/A2 milk and is much easier to digest than some other cow's milk. Never heard of A2 milk? You're not alone! Check out this link for some helpful information on A2 milk.

In May of 2024 we welcomed Molly. Molly is 75% Holstein and 25% Norwegian Red. She is also A2/A2 and came from an organic dairy farm in Dayton, VA. She had her second calf (first with us) on June 28th, a beautiful little heifer that we have named, Firefly. She has been a joy to milk and is providing around 4 gallons a day.

​

On April 7th, 2025, a gorgeous Milking Shorthorn cow named, Merry, joined our herd. She is bred to a handsome Milking Shorthorn bull and we are expecting a calf on May 18th. Merry is a registered Milking Shorthorn with lovely genetics and is, A2/A2. Adding a third cow to our milking herd means that we will always have at least 2 cows in milk to serve our community.

​

Our milk cows are grass fed, living on lush pasture during the warmer months and hay during the winter. While they are in milk, they get a small amount of corn meal and dairy ration from Sunrise Farms after milking as a treat. They are friendly and live a quiet and peaceful life with our family.
