THE FINEST COWS
PRODUCING THE FINEST MILK
MAKE THE FINEST CHEESE

In the heart of America’s Dairyland, the green rolling hills surrounding the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm create a near perfect backdrop for a special herd of Guernsey cows.

Forged from a vision and built on the passion of W.D. Hoard, pioneering publisher and former Governor of Wisconsin, he established his dairy farm in 1899, and went on to change dairying across the land forever.

Today, descendants of Hoard’s original Guernsey cows continue to call the Hoard’s Dairyman Farm their home, and they continue to produce the extraordinary milk that makes our very special cheese.
