How to Create Your Own Dairy Products (Real Examples)03 Jan
Aaron Lapp and Henry Stoltzfus
There are many home based businesses, but few people would chose agriculture to build a new career. The story of Green Valley Dairy begins in 1990, when Aaron Lap and Henry Stoltzfus, two Amish farmers decided to let their cows feed naturally, without corn or growing hormones. As a result, the quantity of milk decreased by at least 50%. However, the remaining amount was so rich that it could be used for making high quality cheese.
In 2003, Green Valley Dairy was created, with the purpose of creating the same high quality cave-aged cheese. The cheese produced at the Green Valley Diary was immediately appreciated and rewarded with a number of prizes, including: Best Cow Cheese 2005 and Best of Philly Cheese Award in 2004. Its qualities derive from the careful curing, cave aging and organic raw milk used for production. The Green Valley Dairy is a true example of how to start an agriculture home business.
