About the Farm

Background

Jon Bansen, who manages the 600-acre farm, has been in the profession for 25 years, starting his journey on his grandfather’s dairy farm in Ferndale, California. He studied grazing operations in New Zealand and now writes for Graze magazine and speaks at Oregon State University. The farm has a deep-rooted family tradition in dairy farming, with Jon's great-grandfather and grandfather also being dairy farmers.

Practices

The farm operates on a grass-based dairying system, emphasizing the importance of pasture for their cows. Jon Bansen's approach to farming is heavily influenced by his experiences in New Zealand, focusing on effective grazing techniques and organic practices. The farm is certified organic and is part of the Organic Valley Cooperative, ensuring high standards in milk production.

The Rest

Jon Bansen is dedicated to teaching and sharing his knowledge. His passion for dairy farming is evident, and he takes pride in the fact that his children see value in continuing the family tradition. The farm's commitment to biological agriculture is a significant aspect of its legacy.
