Treat yourself to delicious, rich dark cocoa in each sip of our A2/A2 Organic Chocolate Milk. We love to drink it by the glass, or add it to hot coffee for a decadent morning mocha!

This holistic approach ensures that all parts work in harmony with one another and are supported to the best of our farm's abilities.
Sad I did not find this 40% heavy cream from

takes a lot of planning, but when it comes time to move a herd to a new paddock our girls make it as easy as pie. Once the gate is opened, they flood in because they know that the grass IS greener on the other side of the fence.

Here are 2 clumps of the nutrition-dense aged silage that we feed our cows year-round. The lighter clump is a mere day old. The darker clump is a year old and has a sour & hearty taste that the cows love. Even we give it a taste every now and then - it's actually pretty tasty!
It's summer. It's hot. 🥵 Frozen yogurt is the perfect way to cool down! For those who struggle with digesting dairy, here's a great recipe for CHOCOLATE FROZEN YOGURT, made with our ultra-creamy and delicious A2/A2 yogurt and milk - the digestible dairy. 👍

Our organic farming practices provide healthy habitat for native plants that offer food + shelter for native wildlife. Organic means we avoid toxic substances like pesticides+ herbicides that harm wildlife. Organic is good for people too, our dairy products are chemical free.

Grasslands are carbon-sequestering machines, and may even be more resilient carbon sinks than forests according to a
@ucdavis
study. Above, you can see how grasses sequester carbon IN the soil (not just their biomass) and why grazing animals play an important role in the process.
It's been a while since we've introduced our family to you all, so say hello from the Alexandre family! Along with 4th generation farmers Papa Blake and Mama Stephanie, all five Alexandre "kids" and their partners work either on the dairy or elsewhere in the ag industry.
Wonder what the numbers on a cow's ear tag mean? Ear tag content varies from farm to farm, but they are always used to identify individual animals!
Our ear tags show a cow's bday, her father's ID number (which tells us her genetics), and her own ID number (for looking up stats).
Berries are best when they're organic. Every spring the ewg releases their "Dirty Dozen" list of the top produce to avoid (they have the most detected pesticides). Berries are always on the list, so be sure to buy organic!

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense whole foods & offer much more than cholesterol & some protein.
They're so beneficial for humans, throughout history people have gifted eggs during spring to celebrate the change of seasons (this may be what led to Easter eggs)!
Silage season is a wrap!
#Silageseason
is when we cut the grass that will be used for winter feeding when the fields are too wet to graze. Last year we cut 9000 tons of grass. On the day this photo was taken, we collected an estimated 480 tons of silage (about 40 truckloads)!
With only 4 ingredients and NO emulsifiers, our A2/A2 Organic Chocolate Milk is the stuff of dreams. It holds all the qualities of "old school" chocolate milk: lightly sweet, with rich chocolate, high and creamy milkfat, and of course, ONLY the A2 beta-casein protein
Our happy hens have full freedom to roam, rest, nest, lay eggs, & forage whenever & as much as they would like. Our conscious, hand-intensive mobile egg farming takes a lot more effort, but it is worth every bit of it!

Don't break the cold chain! As summer approaches every link in the
#coldchain
(farm, milk truck, distributor, store, and customer) must take care to keep the milk cold. For the consumer, this means getting the milk home and into the fridge asap – especially on warm days.
The levels of milkfat in our 100% grass-fed dairy naturally vary with the seasons. We are unique in the industry + choose to leave the milkfat levels exactly as they are on the day of milking!
