Trinity Valley Dairy
Nestled in the idyllic valley of East Homer, New York, Trinity Valley Dairy is a testament to the enduring legacy of family farming, spanning over a century and four generations. Founded as Sunset Young Farm by Otis and Hazel Young, the land has borne witness to the ebb and flow of seasons and the unwavering commitment to dairy farming passed down through the family lineage.
Today, under the watchful care of the Poole family, Trinity Valley continues to evolve, blending tradition with innovation to meet the demands of modern agriculture. In 2013, the Pooles embarked on a bold expansion, transforming a picturesque sweet corn field into a bustling milk production facility.
What truly sets Trinity Valley apart is its pioneering approach to milk bottling. Amidst the vast landscape of Cortland County's dairy farms, Trinity Valley stands as the sole "jugger" operation, bottling milk straight from the cow under its labels—Trinity Valley and the Manhattan Milk Co. This dedication to independence ensures that each bottle of Grade A cream-line milk, pasteurized onsite at low temperatures, retains its natural integrity. And for those seeking a taste of nostalgia, Trinity Valley's un-homogenized milk promises a rich, creamy experience—just a gentle shake away from perfection.
But the farm's offerings extend far beyond the dairy aisle. With seasonal flavors like spiced eggnog and mint chocolate milk tantalizing taste buds and cheese curds in flavors ranging from Spicy Buffalo to Garlic Herb, Trinity Valley delights in bringing new dimensions to familiar favorites.
For those eager to delve deeper into farm life, Trinity Valley Dairy offers immersive educational tours suitable for all ages. From school outings to private parties, visitors gain firsthand insight into dairy practices and the art of milk-making. And, of course, no visit is complete without sampling the farm's acclaimed chocolate milk—a sweet indulgence that encapsulates the essence of Trinity Valley's dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
