Orchard House Creamery

with one cow and a stainless steel milk bucket. It has grown into one of the largest raw jersey cow milk herd share programs in the state of Tennessee, serving 9 cities from Chattanooga to Cookeville. Ben and JoAnna Bleasdale own and operate this small farm. They pour their passion for cattle and love of serving people into each jug of milk that leaves the farm. Their cows, milk and customers are managed with care and consideration. For more information, check out our delivery schedule page and find a drop location near you. You can also read our herd share agreement page to see how our herd share program works. We currently have 75 jersey cows in our herd. We selected jersey cows for their calm disposition and high butterfat content in their milk. We are a pasture-based dairy which means their diets consists of as much grass on the pastures as we can, free choice high quality hay year round and a small supplement of non-GMO grain in order to maintain health and milk production at the same time. When the pastures are in season, we graze our cows rotationally, giving them access to fresh paddocks of grass every day. This keeps the grass tall and tasty and the cows happy and healthy! A quick note on A2A2:We have not had all our cows tested for the A2A2 gene trait. However, we have only bred to or bought in cows from A2A2 certified farms for the past 10 years. As almost all our herd is younger than 10yrs, we assume at this point that most or all our cows are A2A2.
