De Vor Dairy Farm & Creamery: Our Beloved Animals

At De Vor Dairy Farm & Creamery, we take pride in our diverse family of animals, each contributing uniquely to the heart and soul of our farm. Our commitment to sustainable farming practices is reflected in the care and love we give to each of our animal breeds – from the gentle Jersey Cows to the rare Mulefoot Pigs and our playful Goats. Here’s a brief glimpse into the lives of our cherished farm residents:

Jersey Cows

Our Jersey Cows are the stars of the dairy production, renowned for their rich, creamy milk that is high in butterfat and ideal for our premium dairy products. These gentle and intelligent animals are not just a source of quality milk but also an integral part of our farm’s ecosystem, grazing peacefully on our lush pastures. Their affectionate nature and striking appearance, with their beautiful fawn-colored coats, make them a favorite among visitors.

Mulefoot Pigs

The Mulefoot Pigs are a rare and historic breed known for their distinctive solid hoof, unlike the cloven hooves of other pig breeds. At De Vor Dairy Farm & Creamery, we are dedicated to preserving this unique breed, celebrated for its flavorful and succulent meat. Our Mulefoot Pigs are raised with care, roaming freely and foraging in their natural habitat, which contributes to the exceptional quality of their meat.

Goats

Our Goats bring lively energy to the farm with their curious and playful personalities. Known for their ability to clear and maintain the pastureland, they play a crucial role in our farm’s sustainability efforts. Goats at De Vor Dairy Farm & Creamery are not only valuable for their land management contributions but also for their delicious milk, which is used to produce a variety of artisanal cheeses.
