Stryk Jersey Farm

The farm holds a Grade A Raw for Retail Milk Permit issued by the Texas Department of State Health Services, obtained in 2005, which carries stricter criteria than a standard producer dairy permit. Milk comes from pasture-raised, grass-fed Jersey cows and is sold without homogenization or pasteurization. The farm has maintained Grade A status since the 1950s. Bob and Darlene practice rotational grazing and focus on soil health and water management as the foundation of their grass-fed milk and cheese production. They work in partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and their local Soil and Water Conservation District on sustainability across the farm. Bob also worked with the Texas legislature to modify raw milk regulations to improve consumer access to fresh milk.
