Corey and Bridgette both grew up on dairy farms, so it was in their blood from an early age! In 1997, they started their own farm, Piedmont Jerseys. Everyone thought the couple was crazy for starting a grazing dairy, but Corey wanted to nourish the land to feed and house his cows. It gave them room to roam and helped the cows to live longer. To this day, the family farm milks around 220 Registered Jersey cows, many of which are over 10 years old! We are an all registered Jersey, grass-fed dairy. Our creamery offers a full line of A2 dairy products including skim, 2%, full, and chocolate milk, half and half, cream and ice cream. Farm Stand is open Tues.- Sat. 10am-8pm; Sun. 12-6pm. Please call before you travel, since hours are subject to change. Tours available by appointment.
