Our Farm
Thomas Organic Creamery is located near the heart of mid-Michigan, not too far from you. We have an 80 acre organic farm with a small herd of Jersey cows and a flock of brown egg-laying chickens. We keep a closed herd, which means we do not bring in cows from other sources. This protects our livestock from disease and viruses being brought onto the farm from other animals. Instead, we raise our cows right from birth.
Our Standards
Testing We want to ensure you receive quality, unprocessed milk; therefore, our milk is regularly tested for quality. Milk samples are taken for testing every two days.
Certification Our dairy farm is certified organic by International Certification Services, Inc. ICS conducts thorough annual inspections to guarantee to you that we fully meet the USDA National Organic Program. We do not use pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones, or genetically modified organisms on our farm and animals.
Licensing We also must pass regular Michigan and United States Department of Agriculture inspections. Our milk meets USDA Grade A standards, and we have a Michigan milk plant license to operate our ice cream plant and equipment.
