Grass-fed dairy,
bottled right on the farm.

Good food from the soil up.

Wayne and Denise Harris began farming here in 1990 with three kids under seven and a habit of thinking outside the box. They started grazing the way UK and New Zealand dairies did — and that thinking led, step by step, to full organic certification in 2007.

Because the Kootenays felt remote from conventional dairy processing, the family built their own on-farm plant. Cheese came first, then a glass bottling line bought at a government auction and dismantled by hand in a New Brunswick prison. In 2011, fluid processing began.

Today it's a multigenerational farm. Each of the kids came home to help build it. Every decision still runs through one filter: does it improve the soil, the herd, and the milk.
