Milk

Our Holstein dairy cows are fed excellent quality corn silage and haylage raised here on the farm. Grain is purchased and fed to only those animals needing it. All the feed the cows receive do not contain any hormones or antibiotics. Our cows only receive antibiotics when they are sick, and any milk produced from that cow is thrown out for a withdrawal period specific for that medicine. The cows live in a free stall barn where they can eat any time, roam the entire barn as they wish or they can lay down in comfortable stalls any time.

The milk is transported to Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook ME twice per week where it is pasteurized and bottled in our glass bottles. Glass bottles are the best conveyance of a high quality beverage. Taste the difference quality makes.

Our milk is available year round at the farm stand. Skim, 2%, and Whole are available in half gallons, quarts and pints. Chocolate, 1% Chocolate, Blueberry, Coffee, Vanilla, Banana, Strawberry and Orange Crème are available in quarts and pints. Creamline (whole milk not homogenized) is available in quarts. In the summer lemonade is available in all sizes and for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season Eggnog is available which is unbelievably thick and rich.

Meat

The beef animals are Angus or Angus crosses and receive the same feeds as the milking cows, corn silage, haylage and cracked corn as needed for protein. Their diets are scientifically balanced for their needs. The pigs are fed grain pellets, cracked corn and waste milk from the farm. The pigs live in a spacious barn in pens where they can run and play with their blue balls. The veal calves are fed an all milk diet and live with all the other calves in an airy greenhouse.

When our animals are processed they are shipped to the Windham Butcher Shop in Windham ME, a USDA inspected meat processing facility. The beef is dry aged for two weeks which develops the flavor, then is cut to our specifications and is wrapped in a cryovac (vacuum sealed) plastic package. The fact that the beef is aged and minimally processed sets it apart from other beef. All our meat is sold in the stand as frozen cuts. The pork is cut within days of slaughter and some cuts are smoked and do have a minimal amount of nitrites. Bacon is so popular it sells out rapidly.
