The Dairy
certified organic dairy
dairy photo Hawthorne Valley Farm was one of the first dairies in the United States to be certified as organic. The products we make from our biodynamic cows’ milk can be enjoyed with the assurance that our cows are grass–fed on our pastures throughout the spring, summer, and fall. In late fall and winter, they are fed our biodynamic hay and baleage from our fields; limited amounts of certified-organic grain are fed to our dairy cows for the purpose of helping them maintain condition. They are given no hormones or antibiotics and are tended with gentle, caring hands.
