Operating 500 acres, 300 head of Registered Holsteins, the Milk Store offers
farm fresh fruits and vegetables grown right on the farm during the summer
months. Some of the fruits and vegetables grown are used to make jams,
jellies, and relishes for sale at the store. One of our main goals at the
store is to offer farm fresh milk, fruits, and vegetables. Providing these
products allows us to meet our goal of offering freshness, as well as,
promoting and supporting agriculture in Massachusetts. We have revived
the old method of bottling milk in glass bottles. The glass bottles keep
the milk colder, which means the milk stays fresher, giving the milk a
sweet and smooth taste. Our milk is also bottled in plastic and cardboard
for those who prefer this convenience. |
Massachusetts dairy farmers have a long history of diverse operations. As some farms added cows in order to remain economically viable, others have gone the route of directly marketing their product to the consumer. Direct marketing requires new skills and brings on additional responsibilities for a dairy farmer. However, more farmers are taking advantage of the population that is moving in around them by converting them into customers. A number of dairy farmers have always produced ice cream and opened ice cream stands. So too have farmers processed their own milk and sold it on their farms - this activity has become much more popular in the last two or three years. Many farms use glass bottles to distinguish themselves from the neighborhood supermarket or convenience store. Some farms also prepare dairy eggnog for the holiday season. Massachusetts dairy farmers who sell their own pasteurized milk or their own ice cream include the following.
