Alpine Heritage creates farmstead cheeses using traditional methods, carefully selected cultures, and milk produced by grass-fed cows. Their cheeses are allowed to develop slowly, creating distinctive flavor and character that cannot be rushed.

We value Alpine Heritage for its commitment to raw milk, skilled cheesemaking, and the preservation of small-scale regional dairy production.

Elmer & Sarah’s is named for the current farmer’s grandparents, who purchased the family farm in 1947 and began a grass-fed dairy there in 1950. Today, the family continues raising cows on pasture and producing dairy foods on the farm.

Their Ayrshire cows produce A2/A2 milk with naturally smaller cream particles. This gives the milk a rich, creamy character while allowing the cream to redistribute readily when mixed. Their yogurt, kefir, and cultured butter are made with simple ingredients and without gums, fillers, or artificial additives.

• Grass-fed heritage Ayrshire cows
• A2/A2 dairy
• Rotationally grazed pastures
• No grain or soy fed to the cows
• No gums, fillers, or artificial ingredients
• Produced on the family farm

• Raw and non-homogenized
• A2/A2 Jersey cow milk
• 100% grass-fed and pasture-raised

Like A Mustard Seed Farm grew from a season of change for Kevin and Kristin Jones. After Kevin lost his job, their family began searching for a different way of life. At the same time, health concerns led Kristin to reconsider how she fed herself and her family and to begin studying regenerative agriculture.

Kristin brought a background in education and a willingness to teach herself a new way of farming. Kevin brought a family heritage rooted in agriculture. When the opportunity arose to move to a farm and work together as a family, they felt called to take a leap of faith and founded Like A Mustard Seed Farm in September 2020.

The farm’s name draws from two biblical teachings: that even faith as small as a mustard seed can accomplish remarkable things, and that a tiny seed can grow into a plant large enough to offer shelter and protection. Their mission is to serve the community through the farm’s products, property, and educational opportunities.

Kevin and Kristin are also friends of ours and fellow Mennonites. That personal relationship gives us confidence in the people behind the food and allows our farms to support one another in practical ways.

• Family-operated local farm
• Regenerative agriculture
• Pasture-based animal care
• Faith-centered community service
