Chaseholm Farm Creamery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chaseholm Farm Creamery is a 350-acre (140 ha) family-run farm in Pine Plains, New York, on the borders of Dutchess and Columbia Counties in New York's Hudson Valley, protected by the Columbia Land Conservancy.[1][2] It works with many farms in the surrounding Hudson Valley as part of the local food movement. The Chaseholm Farm Creamery is currently run by siblings Rory and Sarah Chase.
The Chaseholm Farm Creamery has a herd of 30 cows, both Jersey and Holstein, run by sister Sarah Chase. Calves are kept with their mothers as a new method in hopes that the cows will produce milk for longer. The cows have over 70 acres of land for grazing. The hay they eat is sprayed with lime to organically keep pests away and raise the pH of the crop. The herd is milked by Sarah and a helper twice a day, and the milk is sent down the road to brother Rory Chase at the creamery. The farm has attained a raw milk license, and sells raw milk in their farm store.[3]
