Do you realize that behind mouth watering ice cream and butter goes around the clock work by dairy farmers who have to cater to the milking cows and their requirements while also keeping the farm clean and habitable. More intimidating could be the fact that there’s less than 40,000 dairy farms left in the United States now, less than a half a percent of our population!
The vast and beautiful Richlands Dairy Farm in Blackstone, Virginia is over 270 years old, making it a little older than the country! Thanks to TikTok and its incredible power to bring likemind people together, Richlands Dairy Farm has brought exposure to the plight of family dairy farms. This multi-generational family farm has captured the hearts of more than a
hundred thousand people on TikTok to date, and they continue to draw people to the farm for its exceptional cleanliness and unmatchable care given to the animals there.
Join Andy in today’s episode as he interviews Coley Drinkwater and her brother T. R. Jones, from the family behind Richlands Dairy Farm. Coley shares their family’s journey to invest in a creamery to save the family farm, and T. R. expounds on his roller-coaster journey, making known the struggle and sweat that went into the making of the creamery. He also talks about the unanticipated surge in the number of followers they witnessed on their social media accounts and how he keeps positivity alive in the unprecedented times of today!
