Summary
In 1941, long before anyone had heard of mega-farms or agri-corporations, the Osofsky family started a small dairy farm in Hudson Valley, NY, naming it for their eldest son, Ronny. Today, the extended family continues to work those same pastures. The farm makes milk products in small batches, delivered at peak freshness, pasteurized and hormone free. Everything on the farm is grown and produced naturally with no additives of any kind.
