Currently we milk about 400 cows.
Approximately 75 percent of the herd produces organic milk, with the rest producing conventional milk.
We began the organic conversion in 2006.
A few points about our operation.
» We are a pasture-based ranch. This means roughly 120 days per year our milk cows derive a large part of their diet from the grass growing in our pastures. We utilize rotational grazing methods to insure the grass is used to the greatest benefit.

» We use our own recycled manure to fertilize our fields.
This past summer Marin Sun Farms rented a pasture to raise free range chickens.
The chickens did a great job of eating bugs and aerating the fields.
» We had been researching the organic option for a number of years. When Clover-Stornetta approached us about becoming a shipper, we made the decision to join their fine organization.
» Clover-Stornetta has the highest milk quality standards in the dairy industry. We are honored to be a part of this select group.
We are committed to sustainable agriculture.
