Our journey began with a simple mission: to raise our family on a farm and provide them with nutrient-dense, natural foods. Over a decade ago, we embarked on our dairy farming venture, driven by a desire to connect people with the source of their food and share the bountiful treasures of our land.
In 1952, our grandparents Lukas and Alberdina Stapel set out from the Netherlands with little more than the clothes on their backs. In fact, Grandpa had a note pinned to his jacket as they navigated a thoroughly unfamiliar country. "Please assist with train change, couple speaks only Dutch" Why did they make such an effort to begin anew in a foreign country? They had one thing in mind: opportunity.
After having left the family farm in Howards Grove, WI, brothers Brody and Jory both returned with enthusiasm and energy in 2012. They had one thing in mind: opportunity. Opportunity to raise their families on a farm, opportunity to work for themselves and bring about their own success. Opportunity to be a part of our country's food security.
Our History
WE BUILT OUR CREAMERY.
It took 430 days from the day we dug the footing (February 26th, 2024) — the very foundation of our Creamery — to the day we bottled our very first batch of milk. We officially opened our creamery a couple of days later on May 31st, 2025.
430 days of early mornings and long nights.
430 days of decisions, some easy and many not.
430 days of prayer, long conversations, grit, and leaning on each other.
430 days of rolling up our sleeves, pouring hours into hard labor, and doing the work to make this dream real.
And exactly 430 days before the day we dug that footing? Brody and Jory came home from a conference and decided they wanted to do this.
It feels fitting that a number as specific as 430 now tells such a big story…the story of walking faithfully and seeing God provide, every day from the ground up.
LEARN ABOUT OUR ANIMALS
OUR CATTLE
RAISING QUALITY, ONE MOO AT A TIME
Dairy Cows
Meet our dairy cows, a blend of Holstein and Jersey crosses. These cows are selected to ensure a smaller size with excellent milk quality. Our dedication to breeding for A2 genetics enhances the digestibility of our milk, making it not only delicious but also gentle on your stomach. We believe that happy cows make the finest milk, and our commitment to their well-being shines through in every bottle.
Beef Cows
Our beef cows, primarily Angus, are raised with the same care and dedication as the rest of our farm family. These animals produce high-quality beef that's packed with flavor. We take pride in how we care for our beef cows, resulting in meat that's not only tasty but also a testament to our commitment to high quality.
OUR BEES
BUZZING WITH SWEETNESS, STRAIGHT FROM THE HIVE
From hive to jar, our honey doesn't have far to travel for your enjoyment. Just like our other farm-raised animals, our bees are essential members of our family. They work diligently right alongside us to produce amazing honey. Carolyn, our dedicated beekeeper, ensures their well-being and the sustainability of our hives throughout the year. Happy and healthy bees are vital to our farm's ecosystem, and their hard work results in honey that's delicious and nutritious. In 2025, her daughter Mallory joined her and started to care for her own hive as well.
OUR CHICKENS
EGGSQUISITE FLAVOR, FEATHERED WITH CARE
For our flock, each year can be different. These hens are lovingly raised on Jory and Erin's farm. We believe that well-cared-for hens produce delicious and nutritious eggs, and we're excited to share that farm fresh goodness with you. Our hens enjoy the freedom of outside access, while our farm's next generation (our kiddos) hand-gather these eggs daily, guaranteeing freshness and quality.
