How to buy
- We offer dairy specific consulting, information, and farm tours. We have many years worth of experience with intensive grazing milking cows and heifers, zero till farming and cover crop selection and timing for high quality feed. After years of trials and adapting practices on our farm, we want to share this knowledge with other farmers because we feel the dairy industry can benefit in many ways from these practices.
