I'm Lyndsey Miller, and I'm proud to be a first-generation dairy farmer. My journey at Broken Arrow Farm began with a simple idea: to produce fresh, high-quality milk with integrity.
Everything we do is rooted in our home here in Creston, West Virginia. Our raw milk is a genuine farm-to-table product, crafted with care right on our family farm. We're dedicated to bringing you the freshest milk possible, because we believe you deserve nothing less.
At Broken Arrow Farm, we believe that the highest quality raw milk begins with the health of our cows and the land they graze on. Our Jersey cows are pasture-raised, spending their days on lush, green grasses and native forages. This natural, grass-fed diet is not only what cows are meant to eat, but it also directly impacts the milk's superior nutritional profile. Our milk is rich in beneficial CLA and omega-3s, and bursting with healthy, fat-soluble vitamins A, E, and K2. By allowing our cows to live a low-stress, natural life, we ensure they are healthy and happy, which in turn provides you with the purest, most wholesome raw milk possible.
Our two-cow milking parlor is a special place that gets the best care for our animals. After every milking, we meticulously clean the parlor to ensure a sanitary environment. Once a month, or more often as needed, we give the entire area a deep pressure wash to keep it pristine, especially when the weather leads to muddy conditions. We believe this dedicated attention to cleanliness is essential for the health and comfort of our cows.
When it comes to providing safe raw milk, rapid cooling is key. At our small dairy, we take pride in our quick and effective cooling process, ensuring the freshest milk possible without using a traditional bulk tank. Immediately after milking, we pour the 101.5°F milk directly into glass jugs and submerge them in a sink filled with ice. A water agitator circulates the icy water, ensuring the milk's temperature plummets to a safe 35°F in under 30 minutes. This swift cooling method is a crucial step in preserving the quality and safety of our delicious, raw milk.
Welcome to our Bottling Plant, the heart of our operation where milk is transformed from its raw state into the fresh, delicious product you know and love. This isn't just a room; it's a meticulously controlled environment dedicated to purity and quality. Here, our milk undergoes a final, rigorous filtration process before being bottled with precision. To maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, this space is accessible to only two dedicated team members, and we strictly prohibit outside shoes and all animals. This unwavering commitment to hygiene ensures that every bottle we seal is as clean and wholesome as possible, reflecting the care and dedication we pour into our products from farm to bottle.
