It was known before as Dennis Family's farm and converted to Robotic Dairy in 2010. The story started in 1930 with grandparents Hal and Rita Dennis starting the farm.
In 2013 the family has braved the market and started bottling their own milk. From farm gate fresh, pasteurized only, and full cream milk.
The main aim is to provide the freshest, highest quality milk for you and I!
