It all started over 100 years ago with the Adolph Bahler family. Our family was one of many small farms scattered across New England raising not only dairy cows but also growing tobacco and potatoes as cash crops. Through the decades dairy became our passion and while time moved on and other dairy farms closed their doors, we pushed forward. Through that process we learned one thing; quality does not happen by chance; it’s done on purpose.In 2016 we decided to take things to the next level by building our current facility that is 318,000 sq. ft. We built this with three things in mind: first and foremost the comfort of our cows and efficiency & sustainability. The integrity of our farm and milk has been our priority from the beginning. Now well into a 5th generation, our goal is to get great tasting milk from our parlor to your home as quickly as possible so you’re drinking fresh quality milk that you can trust.At Oakridge Dairy there’s more to do than just milking cows. From birthing calves raised to adulthood, to managing our land yielding crops to feed our herd. Each hard working division focuses on their area of expertise to achieve our goal together. While the milking division is tasked with milking thousands of cows, day after day after day, the chores of all other divisions vary greatly from season to season. There’s land to tend, crops to plant, calves to birth, fertilizer to spread, young to raise, and finally crops to harvest. What makes our milk so special? It all begins with a happy cow and continues with an exceptional level of care throughout our processes. When we say happy cows make great milk we mean it! Did you know that cows love a boring, consistent life style? Without consistency cows become confused, agitated and in other words “stressed out”. A stressed cow does not produce as much milk and you can actually taste a difference. Truly! Another thing that makes a cow happy is good health and at Oakridge cows are cared for by our dedicated farmers and vets that provide an optimal living habitat for our girls.Wanna see where our milk comes from?
