Where can I buy your milk?
All of our milk is marketed commercially through our cooperative (Lone Star Milk Producers) and we do not sell raw milk directly to individuals. Our milk is currently being shipped to the Prairie Farms facility in Kosciusko, Mississippi, and may be found at retail under several different brand names. Even if your local grocery store doesn't carry milk that might have originated on our farm, please know that all dairy farms have high standards for quality and any milk you purchase supports all dairy farm families like ours.
Do you use antibiotics on your farm?
We are committed to providing you with antibiotic-free milk, yet our commitment to our cows' health and well-being requires that antibiotics occasionally be administered. We minimize our use of antibiotics by focusing on preventative measures such as providing proper nutrition and living conditions, but when antibiotics are necessary they are used judiciously and in accordance with all labels and veterinary guidance. Milk from treated cows is discarded until until it is free of residue, and every load of milk received at the dairy processing plant is tested prior to being unloaded to ensure its quality and safety. You can learn more about this issue by reading Will's blog post, "Cows, Antibiotics, and You".
Do you sell bull calves?
We are currently diversifying our farm to include a beef herd. As such, we are raising all of the calves born on our farm and will not be selling any to the general public.
Can I take a tour of your dairy farm
We are proud of our farm and enjoy showing it to other people, but our small workforce makes it difficult to give tours and still fulfil all of our daily farming responsibilities. We can occasionally accommodate weekend barn visits from local families, but we have made the decision not to schedule group tours for the time being.
How can I get a job on your farm?
All job inquiries must be made in person during business hours. We do not offer internships, and we currently have no full or part-time employment opportunities available.
