I quit drinking milk because of the cruelty to the calves after born and the mom that DOES MOURN THEIR LOSS. Also it’s hard to drink milk knowing the cow it came from will be slaughtered.
I do miss my milk. I sure wish we had a dairy farm here, like yours.
I live in Eureka CA.
Bless you all,

Just recently I went vegan after learning about cows being separated from their mothers. I am interested in visiting your farm as well as possibly buying your products. Can you please advise how to do both?

Your approach to humane treatment of farm animals might convince me to try your cheese (and eggs?) if you ship to Massachusetts. Thank you for putting the animals first and allowing them to lead seemingly good, violence-free lives. Hope you can keep up the ethical work and spread the practice around the world.

I buy manure from a local dairy farmer and it got me thinking about how unethical and sad dairy farming, even on a small, family-owned scale, is…it seems that the only ethical way to drink dairy would be to do what Long Dream Farm is doing, and to have your own cows. In the mean time, I think that the only way to be ethical is not drink dairy at all, which sucks, because I love dairy so much T_T I wonder if goat dairy is less exploitative?

After seeing on video some of the atrocities imposed on cows at some large farms, I was trying to think of how to stop milk and cheese altogether. Then I read about your family and your farm. I will only buy from you now as I think you have a website under Amazon. I am an attorney in Los Angeles, but will try to find your site and buy from you. I wish you success and thank you so much for what you are doing. Judi Powell

We live in Los Angeles. Do any stores carry your milk here and if not is it possible to get it another way? thanks!

Sanctuary. I appreciate what you are doing.

The food industry is so cruel. Government tries to box in the food industry like it does people. One box doesn’t fit all, some people were meant to be doctor’s and they are very good at it, others were meant to be mechanics and they are very good at it. While others are meant to be a chef and they are very good at it, but government wants to force everyone to be the same thing and this is not how it works if you want to live in harmony and peace like your farm does! God Bless you for what you are doing for these beautiful animals. People like to say cows are stupid but I have learned they are not. It’s just that the industry doesn’t allow them to be who they should be. Loving caring mothers and caring for their young.

My mother and Grandmother did exactly this. I must come visit.
Good Luck

This all sounds great. But your products are not organic!! Please consider going organic and you would have many lifetime customers! I am mostly vegetarian/vegan but cannot give up my raw organic cheese and butter. I am looking for a local-ish farm that does not keep their cows artificially pregnant and that does not STOP the calves from nursing and ONLY takes extra milk, after the babies have had enough. Where do you stand on EACH of those issues? Would you consider feeding your cows ONLY organic food? You would be making a huge impact on the industry, community and lives of ethically-minded, organic, health-conscious humans…..

Are consumers willing to pay the extra? Even many of those that may be prepared to pay extra may be discouraged by the many recent exposures of “high welfare” farms where shocking cruelty has been secretly filmed.
