"A farmer is either planning for winter or it's wintertime."

This was our biggest harvest yet, at 80 acres of chopped feed. Why does this matter to us? As a grass-based raw milk dairy, we pour hours and research and implementation into feeding our cows the best nutrition possible. 

It all begins with the humble dairy cow.

She takes green grass grown by the sun’s warmth and plentiful rains and turns it into one of nature’s most nutrient-dense foods.

Raw Milk, often touted as a superfood, is quickly gaining momentum in kitchens across the nation — but what exactly is in a cup of raw milk? Let’s dive in.

At Creambrook, we sent our winter raw milk to be tested at a nutritional lab and were thrilled to see the results confirmed of what we have known for years.

There are significant differences in raw milk versus its pasteurized milk counterparts — it’s not just at the macro-level.

After six months of effort, delays, challenges, set backs and two trips to Chicago (whew!), we are thrilled to announce that we have completed the process of setting up our new-to-us Carton Filler. 

Creambrook Farm is the first raw milk dairy to fill Milk Cartons in the US. 

May 22nd // Today marks 8 years since we bought our farm! Ben and I were in our 20's, had two young boys, and scraped everything together to risk it on a fledgling dairy business.

This is one of my favorite views on the farm! We had just moved the heifers to a new pasture for their first time and it went smoothly.

When our days get really full, I am grateful for raw milk and how it makes it easy for my family to be well-nourished. 

 I simply shake the milk and pour it into cups, whip into a protein shake, or serve it over oatmeal & fruit and I know my boys are getting tons of nutrients, minerals, vitamins, beneficial enzymes, and wholesome fats, proteins, and carbs.

Raw milk is an incredible health food with a multitude of benefits. A growing number of conscious consumers are learning about raw milk and how to source it from a trusted farm so they can enjoy all the goodness!

Hello, Creambrook Friends! Today you are faced with a ton of choices to make in regard to your food:  ever-increasing pricing with smaller packaging, confusing labels, varied views on sustainability and ethics, and ever-changing media articles on what food is good for you or not.
