The question that I get asked more than any other is "Did you grow up on a farm?". The answer is a resounding "No!". I grew up in the suburbs of Dayton, Ohio! We moved to the Carolinas and then to Maryland in 2010 for my husband's career. When we moved to Maryland, we bought a Jersey cow for access to raw milk for our family. Everything else followed! We love our life & lifestyle. Yes it is busy, stressful, joyful & sad (sometimes) and fulfilling most days (both physically and emotionally)!
We believe that food is the most important decision that you make (3 times a day...maybe more!). We try to choose the most nutrient-dense, least processed, cleanest sourced food that we can find. When we couldn't find exactly what we wanted locally, we started raising it ourselves! You can read more about my, and my family's story at Grounded Women.
Our Dairy
We raise & milk a small herd of A2 Jersey cows. Jersey's are a calm, docile, easy-keeping breed. Our milk from these cows is sold in Maryland labeled as pet milk.
For raw milk you can order online, purchase at our farmers markets or come to the farm for pickup. Prices and pickup locations can be viewed by clicking the "order now" button.
Pastured Pork
Our pigs are kept outside on our farm. They are offered a non-gmo grain mix but they find the most delight in eating the greens that they find in their field. Nothing is more fulfilling to me than watching a pig chomp down on a huge mouthful of grass! They are never confined in a barn as commercial pigs are. We believe that happy pigs make the most delicious pork!
