Hart Dairy is the single largest source of cows in the United States today that are never confined, environmentally sustainable, roam free-range and are grass-fed 365 days a year. They are redefining the grass-fed standard.
Originally from New Zealand, Dr. Richard Watson is one of the world’s top leaders in research and development related to animal welfare and best-in-class grazing and pasture-based techniques. For over 20 years, he has worked to pioneer the 365-day dairy grazing standard and has invested over $30 million to build the single largest source of cows in the United States that are never confined, environmentally sustainable, roam free-range and are grass-fed 365 days a year.
“We are thrilled to be recognized by Humane Farm Animal Care and proud to have the Certified Humane® label on our Hart Dairy milk bottles,” said Tim Connell, Hart Dairy chief executive officer. “Their seal of approval is a testament to our passion to ensure a healthy living environment for our cows, as they graze free-range on green grass pastures 365 days a year. We truly believe the happiest cows produce the most pure, delicious milk for our customers.”
Hart Dairy believes in HFAC’s Animal Care Standards, which include undergoing third-party inspections to confirm compliance to be certain cows:
Are fed nutritious diets without antibiotics, growth promoters and animal byproducts.
Receive proper shelter, resting areas and sufficient space to support natural behaviors.
Hart Dairy’s 3,500-plus herd is located just outside of Augusta, Georgia, where annual rainfall and temperature conditions are at a temperate sweet spot. In fact, grazing conditions in this area of the United States are even better than the world-renowned dairy farms found in Richard’s native New Zealand, where 365-day per year grazing techniques began.
Because of the location, investment, global research and development, and Richard’s passion for world-class grazing and pasture-based techniques, Hart Dairy is now the largest 100% free range and grass-fed farming system in North America and is the first and ONLY dairy farm in the United States to produce Certified Humane milk.
