Alvin's A2 Jersey Milk Cows
posted on
September 9, 2025
John and Alvin Fisher grew up milking and caring for the cows on their father’s farm in the 1980’s. Currently, Alvin operates the farm with forty-eight A2 Jersey cows that are rotationally grazed on chemical-free pastures and milked twice daily.
As the herd size continues to grow on the farm, Alvin plans to convert the milking stalls into a milking parlor.
In a milking stall program, all the cows are led in to their own stall and the milking machines are carried from stall to stall. This operation works best with 2 people. When all the cows are milked, they are all led back to the pasture.
In a parlor set up, the cows come in single file, 4 cows are milked at a time, and then led out and back to the pasture. This method allows one person to milk 4 cows at a time without having to bend over for hours. This strategy should cut the milking time and labor in half.
Alvin has completed the new parlor design and demolition of the stalls will be happening soon.
We are very excited about the upgrade and being able to expand the operation in order to meet the growing demands for our Alpine Heritage Creamery A2 100% Grass Fed Raw Cheeses.
In the meantime, this is what Milking Time looks like twice a day for Alvin’s family, as they grow some of the healthiest milk which Alpine Heritage Creamery turns into our delicious and nutritious artisanal raw cheeses for you and your family.
Let’s give a big thank you to Alvin and Sadie for doing this important work every day!
