Dairy company Maple Hill Creamery has announced an expansion through the addition of new farms in Central Pennsylvania and greater Lancaster County, US.

Maple Hill Creamery, which provides grass-fed organic dairy products with a focus on supporting regenerative farming practices, said the latest expansion marks a ‘significant milestone’ in the company’s journey.

The expansion includes 14 new farms in Central Pennsylvania, joining Maple Hill's existing 120 small, family farms. Each farm will have an average herd of approximately 50 cows.

First to join will be the Springwood Organic Farm, owned and operated by Dwight Stoltzfoos and his family. The family were early adopters of organic dairy in the mid-90s and transitioned to full grass-fed in 2012. Springwood Organic Farm will serve as Maple Hill Creamery's flagship farm in Pennsylvania.

In addition to welcoming new farms, Maple Hill is actively seeking new farmers throughout Pennsylvania who are interested in transitioning to 100% grass-fed organic farming methods.

By expanding its network of farms, the company aims to further strengthen its supply chain and provide consumers with greater access to high-quality, grass-fed organic dairy products. The farms in Pennsylvania are expected to start producing milk for Maple Hill Creamery in Q3 2024.

Tim Joseph, founder of Maple Hill Creamery, said: “We are thrilled to expand our operations into Pennsylvania and welcome these new farmers into the Maple Hill Creamery family”.

“Our commitment to 100% grass-fed organic dairy is stronger than ever, and we are proud to support farmers who share our values and dedication to sustainable farming practices.”
