Happy-almost-Thanksgiving! We wanted to share our gratitude for you before the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving is here.  

 Thank you for being here – for being a part of the Creambrook Family. Thank you for your enjoyment of raw milk, your appreciation for farmers, and for reading the weekly Farm Letters. 

Hi friend! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away?  

Ben and I were just saying how fast the Fall season is flying by. November is here for real. It was 20 F yesterday morning with a real feel temp of 9 F! The leaves are mostly gone, we are knee deep in farm maintenance projects, and the to-do list before Thanksgiving feels big. :) 

Hi friend! If you are a herd share member and wondering how to place orders for add-on services, this post is for you!

Herd share members with an active weekly raw milk subscription can place pre-orders for our add-on services.

Happy Friday! Whew, what a week! On Tuesday, we put in a 21 hour day and renovated our milking parlor (again). If you have been with us a while, you'll remember that we built a Swing 20 New Zealand style milking parlor in 2021. That parlor replaced our original 6 stanchion parlor that we started with in 2017. 

On Friday, a fellow farmer brought his equipment and manure spreader to spread composted manure onto the fields.

It took most of the day, as it was a big compost pile we had been building, and it felt great to see what some call “waste” that we view as nutrients being added to the soil life on our farm!

New to raw milk? Here are the top FAQ's! 

 Q. What does raw milk taste like?

A. Creambrook's high quality, wholesome raw milk is sweet and creamy.  We work very hard to keep the cows on pastures and forages that make delicious milk and has consistently amazing flavor. No onions for the cows to get into here ;) And each farm's raw milk has a unique flavor! 

"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.
