The Ronnybrook farm has been in business for over 70 years and they manage every phase of milk and butter production – from farm to the cows to the bottling plant – with no third parties involved. During the spring, summer, and fall, their cows feed primary on fresh pasture that grows on Ronnybrook’s own Hudson Valley farm. In winter, the cows consume large amounts of hay that was harvested on the farm during summer. Though not certified, Ronnybrook’s farming methods are by all practical measures organic, if not beyond. They use no pesticides on the fields, manure is the fertilizer of choice and they use cropping techniques that promote healthy soil.
