Pasture Maid Creamery, LLC makes its home here on the Dean Farm in the town of New Castle. This dairy from of Western Pennsylvania has been in operation since 1867. 365 days each year the cows and farmers here are hard at work to produce healthy and fresh tasting dairy products.

Healthy and fresh raw milk, as well as a variety of cheese, is all made right here on the farm and available for purchase. Head of the cheese operations is Adam Dean, the son of Phil and Cindy. Adam is the fifth generation to take part of the operations here. His desire to be a successful businessman is keeping the farm going with a high level of customer service as well as looking forward with new ideas for the future. He helps maintain approximately 500 acres of land and about 130 cows. Only around 60 of them are milked on a daily basis. By rotating them through this process it keeps them healthy, happy and hormone-free so they are able to produce quality milk.

There are some other employees that make this farm continue to be a supporting local business as well. They would be the cows. Most of the herd is comprised of Holstein cows. These are your typical black and white cows you would normally associate with milk. The breed originated in Europe some 2,000 years ago. The Holstein has a very high butterfat content in its milk. What this means for the consumer is a milk that is not only very high in vitamins A and D but is also very rich in short- and medium-fatty acids. These acids are essential to us and boost and protect our immune system.
