Wholesome Family Farm

Our Farm History: We've been raising our own Angus Beef and farm fresh eggs for years. Beth's dream of having a Jersey cow came true in January 2019 when Thomas and Beth decided to get a Jersey milk cow. We found a certified organic dairy that was selling their less productive Jersey cows and added Clarabelle to our farm. What she would eat, her health and happiness, the cleanliness of her milking conditions and the safe handling of the milk were of utmost importance. The fresh, whole milk was fantastic and soon we wanted to share this gift. Not much later we got another certified organic Jersey cow to keep up with the milk demand. We love working with these beautiful animals daily, watching them run across their pasture to us at milking time. It was a natural transition to acquire Wholesome Family Farm. We merged the Jersey cows and our Angus beef cattle together to provide premium quality food to families. In 2020 we moved to 103 acres near McMinnville with lots of beautiful pastures and barn space for winters. In late 2022, we took another turn as the kids "flew the coop" to start their adult lives. Heritage Family Farms took over the raw milk herd shares. This gave us more time to focus on organically regenerating the pastures and our Angus Beef. We want everyone to have the opportunity to eat local, Pasture Raised Premium Angus Beef. About the Owners: Food quality and farming have always been important to us.
