Richlands Creamery

While the land has been in our family since the mid 1700’s, Richlands Dairy Farm has been operational since the first cow walked down the driveway in 1952. Today, Richlands is home to nearly 500 animals from our newest calf to our oldest cow. However, not all of those animals produce milk. Only about 230 cows are giving milk at a time, the rest are too young to give milk or are on their vacation from being milked. As dairy farmers, our primary concern is making sure that our cows & calves are happy and healthy. That means that 365 days a year we are committed to feeding, cleaning up after, taking care of and milking our cows. When people visit the farm one of the most common comments we hear at the end of a tour is, “I had no idea the cows were so well taken care of!” One woman even told us that after seeing how well the cows are treated, she was switching from soy milk back to dairy milk! We invite you to come visit during one of our events and see the farm for yourself, but until then, here’s a quick look.
