Too often in Pennsylvania, we talk about dairy farm families who are exiting the dairy business. In this episode of Cow-Side Conversations, Cory Mellott, Kerry St. Onge and James St. Onge – all middle managers at Molly Pitcher Milk LLC – share the unique journey of how their owners, the Jones family, purchased the dairy farm in 2022. They took an operation without a next generation in line and are taking it to the next level by bringing together a passionate, highly motivated team. Located in Cumberland and Franklin Counties, the team milks approximately 760 cows and focuses on cultivating a team of employees who understand the “why” behind what they do. Cory, Kerry and James share innovative approaches to managing cows between two facilities, building trust with existing employees, completing a heat audit for cow comfort, analyzing benchmarking data, and managing a digester and Air B&B rental house that are on the property.
