Installing waterlines to separate pasture and pen areas. 

We currently run hoses from our house water spigots, hundreds of feet away or use 5-gallon buckets to haul water out to the animals that are in separate areas, like the pig oasis and the goat and calf pens. 

We would like to dig underground waterlines to each pen and install individual spigots so that we have fresh water access in each area. 

Current project cost: $3000.

Purchase a new Commercial Dishwasher. 

We are finishing up the new milking barn and processing area and are wanting to invest in a commercial dishwasher to help clean & sanitize all the milking dishes, glass jars and lids. We are currently using our home dishwasher to clean and sanitize everything, which is difficult with the amount of glass jars and lids we have returned each week. 

Current project cost: $2400

Build an extension to our current pole barn area. 

We want to put a large covered extension area attached to our current pole barn, so our increased herd of cows can all get under cover in inclement weather and also to add 2 separate pen areas where we can safely monitor the cows that are due to calve soon, have just calved or need medical attention. 

Current project cost: $3200

Purchase a new dairy cow. 

We are always on the lookout for adding the perfect new cows to our herd to continue to increase our production and make sure we have enough product to stock up for our members. 

New cow cost: $4000
