ABOUT US

Peaceful Meadows Farm was started in 1920 by the Hogg Family.

Founder of
Peaceful Meadows Farm
The home was built in the late 1700's. The barns were first constructed around 1929. Milk, cream and other dairy products were produced and processed on the farm and delivered by horse and wagon to customers homes. Fire caused extensive damage to the barns in 1934. Fortunately the herd was safe.

The barns were rebuilt and modernized with automatic milking machines.

Home delivery was expanded to all the area towns when a fleet of Divco milk trucks were added.

In 1962 the ice cream stand opened and was well received. The ice cream was made with the finest, freshest ingredients available. In 1970 there was a devastating fire - all the barns were destroyed and 28 cows perished. The support of community, friends and neighbors made it possible to rebuild. The ice cream business flourished, the herd is now registered holsteins, and three more ice cream stands have opened since 1977. While technology has helped streamline the production and processing, quality has not been sacrificed.
