Crosswinds Farm & Creamery
Rock Stream, NY
At Crosswinds Farm & Creamery, compassionate animal care and respect for the land guide everything they do. Dedicated to Regenerative Agriculture, they focus on building healthy soil that nourishes thriving pastures, resilient animals, and deeply flavorful, nutrient-rich milk. Their herd of Brown Swiss cows—less than 2% of dairy cows in the U.S.—is known for producing milk with the perfect balance of fat and protein for exceptional cheese.
Every cow at Crosswinds is born and raised on the farm, with many living well beyond the average dairy lifespan. In a rare and remarkable practice, the cows are allowed to raise their own calves, creating a natural rhythm where both thrive. The herd grazes fresh pastures daily and feeds exclusively on homegrown grasses and legumes—never treated with pesticides or herbicides—grown in diverse, perennial fields that sustain soil health year after year.
Rooted in care, connection, and continual learning, Crosswinds Farm & Creamery produces small-batch dairy that’s as nourishing for the land and animals as it is delicious for the people who enjoy it.
