At Walker Farms, we take pride in delivering fresh, high-quality A2 milk to our community. Ever wondered how milk travels from our cows to your table? The milk journey begins with happy, healthy cows, careful handling, and a commitment to quality every step of the way. Ever wondered how milk is made? Here’s how your A2 milk goes from our farm to your table – ensuring farm-fresh quality each time!
1. Caring for Our Cows
The journey begins with our Holstein dairy cows with A2 genes. We ensure they receive a balanced diet, regular veterinary check-ups, and comfortable living conditions. Healthy and happy cows are the key to delicious milk!
2. Milking Process
Our cows naturally produce A2 milk and are milked twice daily using modern, gentle milking machines that ensure their comfort and hygiene. These machines mimic the natural suckling action to collect milk while maintaining the cows’ well-being.
3. Processing Plant
Our A2 Protein Milk is processed separately from all regular milk to keep it purely A2 at our on-farm facility. This facility allows us to produce, process, and package milk on-site in less than 150 meters of the cows. The A2 milk undergoes rigorous testing for purity, quality, and safety. We check for contaminants and ensure it meets all nutritional standards before processing.
- Pasteurization: To eliminate any harmful bacteria while retaining all its nutrients, we pasteurize the A2 milk. This involves heating it to a specific temperature for a set time and then rapidly cooling it.
- Homogenization: Next, our A2 milk is homogenized to give it a smooth, uniform consistency. This process prevents cream from separating, giving you evenly textured milk every time.
- Packaging: Once processed, the milk is packaged in eco-friendly cartons and bottles. We prioritize sustainability, ensuring our packaging is both functional and environmentally responsible.
4. Distribution
Finally, the packaged milk is distributed to local retailers for you to bring home. This process ensures your milk is farm-fresh and delicious, often reaching shelves within 24 hours of leaving our farm.
At Walker Farms, we’re committed to transparency and excellence in every step of the milk journey. From our happy cows to your table, we ensure nothing but the best for you and your family.
