About Us - A Sustainable Farm

image726
Our Family

It all started...

when a boy from the Bronx met the farmer’s daughter and they decided to start dairy farming together in 1949, and there began Freund's Farm.

the multi-generational dairy farm family at Freund's Farm

Today...

7 decades later, the 2nd and 3rd generations of our farm family manage 3 farm businesses. 


The Freund's Farm Inc. dairy team cares for the cows that provide the manure that we form into CowPots which are then used at our family's retail store, Freund's Farm Market & Bakery to grow the produce and flowers that our farm and community enjoys all summer! This synergy is key to our sustainability.


We send a biannual newsletter to all of our neighbors and invite you to follow our farming adventures:

Our Farm

The dairy farm team cares for our herd of Holstein cows by using the newest technologies, including Lely milking robots and rumination collars which track each cow's activity, like Fitbits. These investments are part of our mission to be a sustainable farm at Freund's Farm.


We grow all of the forages to feed our 300 milking cows supplemented by grains and minerals. 


We work closely with our dairy nutritionist and veterinarian to ensure that our animals have a complete and balanced diet. Animal health and nutrition is an important component to our sustainability.


Our farm participates in the National Dairy FARM Program, a 3rd party verifiable animal well-being program. 

Freund's Farm utilizies renewable energy, with 1200 solar panels on our farm.
What is Sustainability ? >

Our Environment

* Solar Panels - capture energy to power our dairy farm and CowPots production facility.

* Our corn fields are no-till - improving carbon sequestration from the soil. 

* Recycling water - using well water to cool the milk then passing that tempered water to the cows.

* Methane digester - biogas produced from manure offsets the use of propane and heating oil.

* Nutrient Management Plan and Forestry Stewardship Plan - guides the activities at Freund's Farm for managing soil health and forest longevity.

* CowPots - exports excess nutrients from our sustainable farm to where they’re needed (your garden) and replaces non-renewable planting containers like plastic and peat.
