With June being National Dairy month I would like to take each day to share a little of what life looks like here at L’Esperance Dairy.
It all started in September 2012 when a far fetched, crazy by most people’s standards, dream became our life. We purchased a milking herd of Holstein cows from Wynn Paradee and his wife, Pauline, at Pawn Acres in Swanton. Cody started working with Wynn in August and took over the operation in September. It started with around 35 milkers and a few replacements. We were young and just beginning our life together. I was teaching full time and bartending on the side. Cody managed the farm on his own, finding help only for cropping and sugaring season. The week before Christmas in 2014 we purchased the house and farm where we continue to live and work today! 🥰
