"Buying a cow is like buying a used car - 90% of the gamble is in the person you buy from." - Dirk van Loon, from the book, The Family Cow
Our multi-generational family homestead is dedicated to eating what we grow in our garden, orchard, coop, and pasture. We also produce the grass hay for our Purebred Mini Jersey dairy cows. We're proud of our 8 generations of intentional breeding for 100% grain-free production, small stature, and Jersey purity.  We document this through AJCA genomic DNA testing and register with Purebred Mini Jersey Society.
