Rooted in family tradition and a commitment to the future, Ken and Ben have dedicated their lives to dairy farming in Virginia. Their family farm has been producing high-quality local milk since 1948. Today, this father-son team works side by side to uphold the values of sustainable farming, ensuring fresh, local dairy products for families across the region.
Ken grew up on the farm, following in the footsteps of his father, who built a legacy of raising the iconic black and white Holstein cow. Over the years, he has prioritized conservation, placing the farm under a permanent easement to protect Virginia farmland for future generations. This commitment ensures that Ben and Ken’s farm will always be able to serve its Virginia community with fresh, local milk.
For Ben, continuing the family farm is about more than preserving tradition—it’s about growth and innovation. He is passionate about improving dairy farming practices and producing nutritious milk that supports both local families and the broader community. “It’s important to us that we continue to better our farm, our products, and our community and grow them for the next generation,” he says.
By preserving their farmland and continuously improving their dairy operations, Ken and Ben are ensuring that local family farms remain a vital part of Virginia’s agricultural landscape. Their passion for farming, their cows, and their community drives everything they do—because for them, producing great milk isn’t just a business; it’s a way of life.
