WELCOME

Dairy farming is not in my background. My childhood was blessed to revolve around horses and my young adult life included 12 years as an aircraft mechanic for the army as a civilian and then for Homeland Security. It was chronic stomach pains that brought me to where I am today. I was diagnosed with severe leaky gut and my gut bacteria micro-dome was overloaded with "bad" bacteria while the "good" bacteria was in short supply. One step towards healing was adding raw milk to my diet. Enter Truffles the dairy goat, and my discovery for both the love of milking and a better lifestyle. Once my first cow came home, I was hooked! Now, I am thrilled to offer fresh, raw, delicious milk to your family so you can experience the same healing benefits I did! Think of me as your neighbor with a cow! 

Nevada not only works at the farm, but also lives here. She keeps a "keen" eye on the health and well being of each cow, 7 days a week. She's obsessed!  If a cow sneezes or coughs, she's monitoring closely. She keeps water troughs  clean and filled as well as proper minerals stocked, while also ensuring the hay is top notch. She bottle feeds babies, checks pregnant heifers, assists with birthing, cleans stalls, keeps up on inventory, among a million other things! She's completely irreplaceable. 

Want to have some fun while you work? Call Courtney! She's bottled the milk since we opened and she's on top of her game in the milk room!  Full disclosure, I am not personally interested in bottling the milk any longer, I believe the term is "burn out," and Courtney understands this at a core level.  She shows up to work religiously, even sacrificially when need be for the often monotonous, meticulous, standing for hours routine! Her dedication to Peachy Keen Farm is deep in her heart as she is a raw milk enthusiast with kids of her own who drink the milk daily. She has a deep love for animals and always says hi to the bottle calves before she starts her shift. Her presence is meaningful and an integral part of the team!  The hours upon hours of time spent in the milk room as allowed her to listen to all the podcasts available for murder mysteries, so if you have case to solve, you  may want to contact Courtney to help solve it. :)

Jessica bottles the milk with love! Since she's been bottling since the beginning, she knows the ropes like the back of her hand. I  think she could bottle milk blind folded! She is devoted to clean, meticulousness washed bottles (opportunity to add that the bottling girls appreciate those of you who regularly rinse the bottles before you return them!) This woman is 3 steps ahead all the time! She's focused and in the zone when she's in the milk room. She is dedicated to clean bottles, organizing, cleaning and incredibly thorough sanitation. There is never a doubt the job is getting done right when Jessica is at the helm!  She's also on top of inventory and is quick to volunteer for the less fun jobs, which just adds to her long list of attributes making her a wildly valuable woman at the farm.

Jim has saved my bacon at the farm more times than I can count. First, I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to get him on my team since I'm such a small farm.  This man has traveled the world for the largest dairy supply company and he's worked in high profile positions at dairies around the country. Some milking as many as 20,000 cows daily.  Not to mention he's owned his own dairy... of course. Several of the recent ideas around the farm that have added efficiency and function are thanks to him.  He keeps a watchful eye on the cows body condition and offers nutritional advice when needed.  On top of the incredible resume, he's an optimistic soul who smiles easily and genuinely cares about people. He also likes to weed-eat and mow! Who is this guy!?
