About the Farm
Background
Owned and operated by Nelson Martin and his family, this farm near Myerstown, Pennsylvania, has been selling raw milk for over 14 years. Known for their commitment to health, they produce milk without the use of pesticides or herbicides, and have built a reputation for high-quality, nutrient-dense dairy products.
Practices
The farm employs organic grazing practices, allowing their herd of Holsteins, Linebacks, Jerseys, and crossbreeds to graze daily during the grazing season. In winter, the cows spend more time in the barn, depending on the weather. Their diet includes fresh pasture, stored forage, barley or non-GMO corn, molasses, and mineral supplements. They do not use hormones or antibiotics. Additionally, the young are allowed to nurse until they are 9 months old. Milk is only cooled and bottled, without homogenization or pasteurization.
The Rest
The farm encourages visitors to connect with their food by visiting and seeing the practices firsthand. They also operate an on-farm store offering raw milk, yogurt, cheeses, locally sourced grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken and turkey, local raw honey, PA maple syrup, homemade baked goods, and specialty bulk foods.
