Meet Our Farmers

We started buying raw milk from Edwin Shank of Shankstead EcoFarm in 2007. Edwin has been 100% certified organic since that time and we and our customers have come to love his milk. Many of the photos you see of cows on Trickling Springs site comes from his farm. I hope you enjoy learning more about him, his family and the Shankstead EcoFarm through this interview below.

When Cliff Hawbaker approached us with the information that he was certifying his farm, we knew we wanted his milk and we were able to start buying his milk in 2011! Cliff is another one of those great farmers that we purchase our milk from that was doing the right thing long before it was the “right thing”. He wanted to understand what it took to make great milk, even though his milk was going into a tank with hundreds of other farmers’ milk who were operating their farm in the easiest, most efficient way possible. Cliff took the time to improve his herd and feeding procedures in ways that would be the best for the cow and land, in return he has very unique milk that we can highlight in our small creamery.
COMING SOON!! Would you like to try a product made specifically with Hamilton Heights’ milk? Watch for our new lineup of cheeses that will use milk from specific farms identified on the packaging!
