From Our Herd to Your Home

It started with one cow.
Today we're a family-owned dairy in Colorado with four children, fifteen dairy cows, and an adventure that began in 2020 with exactly one.

I was a nurse before this. When I left to be home full-time with our kids, I decided one dairy cow would be a good idea. Fifteen cows later, we're still counting.

Every cow gets a three-month dry period before she calves — a real break from producing milk. For those last three months of pregnancy, all of her energy and nutrition goes toward growing her calf.

That's how we think it should work.

Clean milk is the whole job

Careful handling and sanitation aren't a step in our process — they're the process. We're meticulous about both, and we test our milk every month to confirm our practices are holding up.

Our goal is simple: bring clean, safe raw milk to as many families as we can.

COWS

Rotationally Grazed and Raised on Pasture.

Our cows graze fresh pasture whenever Colorado gives us grass, moved on rotation across ground we never spray. When the grass runs out we feed alfalfa and grass hay to the cows in milk, straight grass hay to the cows who are dry, and add alfalfa cubes plus an organic, corn-free, soy-free grain ration at milking.

We breed without hormones — watching for natural heat cycles and inseminating when a cow is ready — and every cow gets a full three-month dry period so her last months of pregnancy go entirely toward her calf.

Milk handling and sanitation get the same care, tested monthly to prove it.
