Our Farm
From Farm to Fridge, It All Starts Here
A LITTLE HISTORY
We are a family owned and operated farm, started by our ancestors in 1904.
They came to Hadley for its rich soil on the Connecticut River to start a produce farm and raise a small head of cattle. Milk was brought by horse and wagon to the local train station to be delivered to the dairy. Today’s current Jersey cow herd was started by the fourth generation in 1980 and the fifth generation operates the farm, bottling and distribution service.
By 1995, milk was bottled in glass and sold out of a small store in the old milk room of the barn.
Neighbors loved the idea of local, fresh milk in glass returnable bottles and soon the local restaurant scene wanted their hands on this rich, delicious milk. Plastic bottles were then introduced to meet wholesale demands and in 2001, a processing and bottling plant was built on the farm. The herd size continues to grow to accommodate the demand.
The Farm Today
Today, Mapleline Farm's milk can be found throughout Massachusetts. The herd has been recognized nationally for type and production, we are certified “Queen of Quality” and active members of the American Jersey Cattle Association.
Although the farm has been experiencing growth over the past 20 years, we still remain committed to producing and maintaining a viable Jersey herd, preserving the farm land for our future generations and building a sustainable business model. Our family shares the same concerns that yours does about knowing the origins of your food, and supporting local agriculture and locally owned businesses.
