Overview
A2A2 Guernsey raw milk and cream, bottled in glass, from a three-generation family dairy in North Idaho.
Pleasant Meadow Creamery has been producing raw milk from A2A2 Guernsey cows since 2011, farming in the Dufort Valley of Sagle since 2006. Three generations of the Herndon family live and work on the farm alongside a team of employees. The creamery was the first in North Idaho to milk Guernseys and the first to bottle in glass milk bottles, and it describes itself as one of the longest-standing raw milk dairies in Idaho. Products include raw whole milk and cream, sold in returnable glass bottles as well as HDPE jugs in a range of sizes. The farm bacteria-tests every batch it produces before bottling. Milk and cream reach customers through retail grocery stores across a wide stretch of North Idaho, and through an online store serving the Moscow and Lewiston areas. Learn more on their About Page.
The herd of roughly 35 milking Guernsey cows grazes irrigated pasture for about six months of the year, so all cows get fresh grass during that period. In winter, cows eat whole-stem hay and haylage and have outdoor access every day, sleeping on pack bedding of pine planer shavings rather than concrete stalls. The farm grows its own clover, alfalfa, and grass hay, fertilized with composted cow manure, ducks, chickens, and elemental products that are OMRI-listed or approved by ISDA or WSDA. During milking, cows receive certified organic grain from Big Sky Organic Feed in eastern Montana. The blend is corn-, soy-, and canola-free, with primary ingredients of barley, lentils, and peas. Free-choice minerals are OMRI-listed. No synthetic fertilizers or herbicides are used. Manure is composted on-farm for a season before spreading. Chickens, ducks, and wild turkeys sanitize pastures after grazing, and swallow houses on every building support natural pest control.
