Feeding farm business dreams
It’s a blend of art and science.
Focusing on people means putting safety first
With a history dating back to 1890, Oakridge Dairy is no stranger to the industry. Yet as dairy economics presented more and more challenges, Seth Bahler knew that in order to continue his family farm’s legacy, the operation as they knew it would have to change.
Nutrition is just one piece of the milk-production pie.
The best recipes call for 100% high quality ingredients and the same goes for successful milk production. In addition to high-quality nutrition, GreLyn Farms prioritizes their facilities, technology, breeding, and hard work. Cargill noted while our focus is nutrition, we routinely evaluate GreLyn’s breeding protocols, cow comfort, and records before making decisions.
Milk saved and people served through generous donations
When Cargill dairy customers are told their milk must be dumped because it has nowhere to go, the news is devastating for the customer and Cargill. We know many families are in need of this nutritious product, but donating milk directly from a farm to a food bank is not possible. Milk must be transported, processed, and bottled before it can be delivered and the cost is often more than a farm can bare.
