A New Face on Your Grocery Shelves
Fairvue Farms is proud to be one of six dairy farms to contribute to Connecticut's own brand of natural, fresh milk. You may have already noticed the friendly gaze of a pretty cow on the front of a half gallon of The Farmer's Cow milk, a new brand of milk appearing at most grocery store shelves around Connecticut. Or, you can buy The Farmer's Cow milk by visiting our farm at 199 Route 171, Woodstock, CT.
Over the past twenty years, it has become harder and harder for dairy farmers to stay in business here in Connecticut. Twenty years ago, Connecticut had 481 dairy farms. Ten years ago, we had 289. As you read this, 150 dairy farms are working.
So in an attempt to compete with the massive dairy farms out west which produce by far the bulk of milk available in this country, six local dairy farms, including Fairvue, got together and decided to create their own brand of milk--and The Farmers Cow was born.
