• Country Girls Creamery:  Return to the simple life by witnessing calves frolicking in open meadows and stalls, milking and the processing of dairy products:  butter, milk, cheese and yogurt.  Your group will leave refreshed from the county air and charm.  Our milk comes from pasture grazed Jersey cows.  Jersey milk is more nutritious than other dairy breeds.  It contains the highest levels of proteins and milk fat.  It also contains 20% more calcium than other milk, and more vitamin A, B1 and the highest concentrations of B2.  Jersey milk is also better tasting according to consumer surveys.  This is due to higher mild solids (not fat) content. Therefore reduced fat jersey milk also tastes delicious.  Our milk has a cream line because it is unhomogenized which is another benefit of our milk.  When milk is homogenized, it breaks down the fat into particles small enough to be absorbed into our blood stream directly from the gastrointestinal system.  This will put you at risk for many health problems.  Our milk is pasteurized, free of hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides.  It is also processed to meet the standards of the M.S. Department of Health.
