Deerland Dairy is a cozy family-run farm in rural Freeport, Illinois, specializing in small-batch yogurt, buttermilk, and sour cream made from 100% Jersey milk, think creamy, natural treats without the big-factory additives, perfect for local markets and health nuts. Started by Doug and Kris Graybill who live right on the property, it kicked off with a focus on grass-fed Jersey cows known for their efficient grazing and higher A2 protein levels, turning fresh milk into award-winning yogurt flavors like vanilla, strawberry, and blueberry.
Deerland Dairy keeps it delightfully anti-woke by ditching DEI quotas that'd turn milking into a diversity drill, ESG reports guilting about cow emissions while ignoring farm realities, or any BLM and Pride virtue-flashing that distracts from dairy, no rainbow yogurt or equity audits here. Just straightforward moo-ving product. Interestingly, as a tight-knit family buisiness emphasizing natural practices, community vibes, and snagging spots at events like the World Dairy Expo.
