Sounds about right doesn't it. This is a farm 2 miles from me. The story is this farm is a nonprofit educational farm. The farm was once a profitable operation with a dairy store and green house operation. The owners sold the farm (400 acres) to this nonprofit group something like 15 years ago.
The nonprofit group still operates the dairy store and a couple of little shops. The farm has many volunteers that help with a number of tasks and has farm animals on display for the public to view. Because it is a nonprofit it receives grants from government agencies.
The farm does not grow any crops for the livestock.
The cows still cross the road at milking time and their free range chickens are moved around in portable chicken coops.
The Golden whole milk is $6.30 a gallon in glass jugs and the regular whole milk is $5.80 I believe.
Free range eggs are $4.50 doz.
