About Amish Country Dairy
At Amish Country Dairy, all of our products start with fresh, whole Grade A milk. Our flavored milks use only natural ingredients — strawberries, blueberries, coffee, cocoa, and pure maple syrup. Unlike commercial brands, our milk is not “fortified” because it doesn’t need to be. Minimal processing and lower-temp pasteurization preserve both nutrients and flavor. Amish Country Dairy returns to our roots. Our cows are local. Our production is local. Even our investors are local. We price our product to earn a living wage, one that allows us to preserve the land, care for our animals, and train the next generation of dairy farmers.

About Berry Hill Farm & Store
Wholesome food for wellness minded people. Berry Hill Farm began in 2003 with one acre of blueberries. Our focus at that point was to be engaged in a family friendly activity. We soon realized that a great benefit was the interaction with our customers. While it is essential in any business to make enough profit to pay the bills and provide a living wage for those involved, we have found great fulfillment in bringing good food to people who appreciate it. Currently we farm two acres of blueberries and one acre of vegetables including three high tunnels for winter production.
