Manning Hill Farm

Manning Hill Farm raises heritage Dutch Belted dairy cows and runs a breeding-up program aimed at increasing the number of registered purebred Dutch Belted cattle in the United States. The milk is vat pasteurized at low temperature in small batches, a process the farm uses to preserve flavor and nutrients, then quickly cooled and bottled on-site in reusable glass. Dutch Belted cows naturally produce milk with small fat globules, yielding milk that is naturally homogenized without mechanical processing. Beef cattle, pigs, and chickens are raised on pasture. The farm also produces hay, including square and round bales, and has a maple sugaring operation on its conserved land.
