Homeland Creamery
Homeland Creamery is family owned and operated by the Bowmans. They are six and seventh generation farmers who have been raising and milking cows on the same homestead since the 1930’s when their grandfathers’ family started selling “barnyard milk” from a half-dozen dairy cows that were milked by hand.
