We are Monte Farm
The queen- Millie
Millie is without a doubt the queen of this farm. She provides absolutely glorious raw A2A2 sweet jersey milk and loads of cream. We rotationally graze her around our 7 acres, moving her to a fresh grass paddock every few days. This method of grazing allows the pasture to rest and rejuvenate, benefitting the soil and overall health of our cows. We raise 100% grass-fed beef as well.
We believe chickens deserve to be outside under the sun, not locked up in coops or dirt runs. Our chickens roam the pastures, foraging all day. We supplement (and it truly is a supplement) with locally-grown certified organic soy-free layer feed that we soak in our own A2A2 raw milk. This yields nutrient-dense eggs that will ruin all store bought eggs forever. Happy chickens lay the best eggs. We raise our meat birds the same way.
Pasture-raised Poultry
If anyone would’ve said that we would have a farm when we got married in 2008, we would’ve laughed out loud. We were just two kids, we could barely take care of ourselves. It’s funny how people change, because now, we cannot imagine not being farmers. No, we did not grow up showing animals at the country fair, or helping out on the family farm. So when we brought a milk cow home that needed to be milked, and we had never even touched a cow before, it was quite the challenge. Maybe it’s a bit reckless, some may call us dumb, but if anyone has a desire to learn and be connected to the food they eat, anyone can farm.

The (former) queen of the Farm
What does one do when one cannot find raw milk? Buy a milk cow! Miss Molly was the Queen of the Farm, supplying us with gallons of fresh, creamy, raw milk a day. She taught us so much, and opened the door to grow our own grass-fed beef. Her creamy, rich milk fed little calves that grew up grazing our forty acres. The quality of beef was unparalleled, and we are so thankful to our sweet momma Molly for helping us do it.
The garden
Amended with composted cow manure from our sweet cows, our garden of raised beds supplies ample food to enjoy and preserve.
