What makes your milk different?

Our milk comes from Guernsey and Jersey cows, which produce A2 protein milk—often easier to digest, even for some people with lactose intolerance. We use vat pasteurization and do not homogenize or separate the cream, ensuring a rich, full-fat, cream-top milk with an average butterfat content of 4.5%. This process preserves the milk’s natural flavor and nutritional value, without adding synthetic vitamins or processing. pasteurisation and do not homogenise

Are your products organic?

USDA Certified Organic, we follow organic-style farming practices. Our cows are 100% grass-fed, never treated with antibiotics or hormones, and have year-round access to fresh pasture (weather permitting).

What breeds are your cows?

Our cows are primarily Jersey and Guernsey, both of which are known for producing high-quality A2 milk with rich flavor and a creamy texture.

Why don’t you make Greek yogurt or ice cream?

We currently don’t have the equipment necessary to produce Greek yogurt or ice cream. Our focus is on maintaining the natural quality of our cream-top dairy products.

How do you reduce carbon emissions?

Through sustainable farming practices, including intensive grazing, we help sequester more carbon than is emitted by our cows. Our land management efforts create a net decrease in carbon emissions—every quart of milk produced helps remove 6.92 pounds of carbon.

What are the benefits of cream-top yogurt?

Cream-top yogurt offers a rich flavor, higher nutritional content, and digestive benefits. The natural fat in the cream provides fat-soluble vitamins, and the live probiotics support gut health and immunity. It also contains no additives, making it a pure, natural choice.

What are microgreens and what are their benefits?

Microgreens are young vegetable seedlings that are nutrient-dense, offering up to 40 times more vitamins and minerals than mature vegetables. They are rich in antioxidants, support heart health, help regulate blood sugar, and improve skin, hair, and mental health. They are also easy to grow and support sustainable practices.

What’s the difference between homogenized and non-homogenized milk?

Homogenized milk is mechanically processed to break down fat globules, preventing the cream from separating and creating a uniform texture.

Non-homogenized milk allows the cream to naturally separate and rise to the top. Grace Harbor Farms’ cream-top milk is non-homogenized, so you can shake the bottle to mix the cream back in or enjoy the rich cream layer as it is.
