Fueled by compassion and empathy, we focus on quality of life for our cows. That means going beyond keeping cows comfortable, healthy and safe, and meeting organic standards of care. We’re piloting projects to make our cows’ everyday lives better.
Highland Dairy FarmOur cows spend 120 days or more outside grazing every year. And just like us, they choose shady spots when it’s hot out. We’re investing in shade research and projects, figuring out how to create sun shades that can be moved, how much shady area is needed for each cow, and more.
Nature RidgeCows *love* giving themselves a brush. We’re rolling out a program to give brushes to all our farmer partners, with the long-term goal of a brush in every cow barn.
Ford Ridge FarmWe’re piloting a program to help socialize calves by housing them in small groups in hutches. This positive socialization impacts them long-term as they navigate herd life on the farm.
Turner DairyGood cow care begins at birth. That’s why we invest in cozy jackets to keep calves warm and snug. We’ve given out over 600 jackets to farms.
