🐄🥛 Our Jersey girls are the heart of the farm. 🥛🐄

June Dairy Month is a great reminder of the care, time, and dedication that goes into producing fresh local milk every single day.

From the pasture to the bottle, we’re proud to share dairy products made right here on our family farm.

Stop by the Country Store this week and take home a fresh bottle of Kilgus milk to celebrate local dairy farming with us.

🔥🥩 Father’s Day weekend is made for grilling. 🥩🔥

If you're planning a cookout for Dad, now is a great time to stop by the Country Store and check out our fresh selection of farm-raised meats.

Depending on availability, you'll find favorites like steaks, pork chops, roasts, hamburger patties, and more to help make your Father's Day meal something special.

Pair your selection with one of our local barbecue sauces and get ready for a delicious weekend around the grill.

Stop in early for the best selection and celebrate Dad with great food and great company.

🎉🐄 Celebrating Another Year at Kilgus Farmstead! 🐄🎉

What began as a family farm in 1958 has grown through generations of hard work, dedication, and a commitment to providing fresh, local food to our community.

As we celebrate another year at Kilgus Farmstead, we're grateful for the customers, neighbors, employees, friends, and families who have supported us along the way. Your support allows us to continue doing what we love: caring for our animals, stewarding the land, and bringing farm-fresh dairy and meats to your table.

From our Jersey cows and creamery to the Country Store and farm tours, every part of Kilgus Farmstead is built on the values that have guided our family for generations.

Thank you for being part of our story. We look forward to many more years of serving our community and sharing the farm with you.

❤️ Here's to family, community, and farm-fresh traditions.
