Down on the Farm: A Hoard's Dairyman Farm Spotlight

Hoard’s Dairyman Farm

Just like W.D. Hoard himself, we believe that good soil and healthy cows means quality dairy products. That includes the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm Creamery cheese you put on your sandwich, the milk you froth for your coffee, and the yogurt you include in your smoothie. But what does conscientious dairy farming look like? What do milking, cow care, and calf raising actually entail?

In an effort to provide our readers with a comprehensive background as to where our milk, cheese, magazine, and brand come from, the Hoard’s Dairy Farm Creamery would like to dedicate the next few issues of its Creamery Notes newsletter to showcasing the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm. Our hope is that, by including one such article in each newsletter, our readers will not only learn more about the dairy industry as a whole and thus adopt a deeper appreciation for their morning cereal and afternoon cappuccino, but, too, that it will lay the foundation for a steadfast honoring of the 139-years-old dairy farming trailblazer that is W.D. Hoard and Sons Co. 

Over the next few weeks, in the pages of this newsletter, we will share with you the ins and outs of the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm operations, starting next issue with a short biography of the man himself, the “Father of Modern American Dairying,” W.D. Hoard.
