Spearfish Store Front

Every week we are honored with new customers. We are so thankful for all your referrals, keep it up! We have a delivery schedule that we have used for the past couple years, but are still trying to find better ways to serve you, our customers, through the winter as well as the summer months. 

A year ago, we went a round or two with South Dakota Legislation. Fortunately, we kept our right to sell raw milk, but as many of you remember, we can no longer sell cream. Unfortunately, the Director who helped us in the past has taken a new position, so we must keep trying to educate our legislators.  We also will need your help again to educate the next director.

Our Message hasn't changed:

Stop over-regulating an already safe, healthy
and reasonably priced local product. 
 

Raw Milk

The consumer should be able to choose for themselves 
where to purchase Raw Milk. 
Food of any type should not be a government controlled issue.

With fall just around the corner, the harvesting has begun and plans are being made for the winter months. The fall colors are always beautiful around the farm but they seem to arrive earlier every year.

As we start to get ready for the cold winter months ahead, we are thinking about ways to stay warm! Warm house, warm barn, and warm memories of all our customers. We can’t say enough about how very important you are to us. When 4 am rolls around and it’s dark and 5 degrees outside, knowing that you are waiting for us to bring our healthy, high-quality milk to you keeps us going. Blessings upon each of you. Thank you so much!

John and the Cows

Whoop, the calves are calling.  Please check back again soon.  Thank you for your patience with us while we work on updating!

Again, thank you for your time and your business!  We certainly couldn't provide western South Dakota with top quality products if we didn't have loyal customers like you!

 

 

Our Mission

     We believe cows should be treated with tender loving care and given all the comforts they deserve, after all as W.D Hoard said , and I quote ,"The cow is the foster mother of the human race.  From the ancient Hindu to this time have the thoughts of men turned to this kindly and beneficent creature as one of the chief sustaining forces of human life.”

     We believe milk should be treated as a natural wholesome food untainted by over-handling, over processing ,overheating , ect., ect.!  We intend to produce, process & deliver to you, our consumer, the most natural form of dairy products possible. We believe in keeping things simple and fresh as God intended it. We do not use growth hormones or steroids and we believe in good common sense for proper medical treatment  and vaccination. All dairy products will be tested for safety and quality control.

Watch for our products, coming soon!
