Four E Dairy Inc

Third-generation Jersey dairy farm selling raw milk, cream, cheese, and yogurt from a Grade A farm store.

Four E Dairy is a third-generation, family-owned dairy farm in the rolling hills of Lavaca County, run by the Chaloupka family. The farm was started in 1947 by Ernest and Marcella Chaloupka and has grown from a tiny Holstein operation into a full Jersey herd. We sell fresh Grade A retail raw milk, cream, buttermilk, cheese, and yogurt from our Jersey and Jersey-cross cows. Products are available at our on-farm store, by pre-order, and through a delivery option. We are also actively breeding our herd toward A2 milk production.

Our cows are pasture-fed and supplemented with a ration that includes our home-grown hay and silage. They receive no hormones or antibiotics. Since 2005, we have been building a closed Jersey herd, raising all replacement heifers on farm and bringing in no outside stock. Our raw milk is not pasteurized and not homogenized, so the cream rises to the top. We bottle it straight from the cow. We have been breeding toward A2 milk production and have held a Grade A raw milk permit since beginning retail sales in 2009.
