Currently milking two cows: a purebred Jersey and a Guernsey cross. The cows are mostly raised on grass pastures and hay (in the winter) but milk cows are give a small amount of locally mixed grain (corn, oats, alfalfa pellets) after milking. All cattle are initially disease tested and cows in milk are re-tested for BLV, BVD, Johne's, and Staph at the beginning of each lactation.
Herd shares available. Members may pick up their milk on the farm or the farmers make a weekly delivery/drop to Springfield IL.
Farmer's statement: "Our raw milk journey started in 2007 when we purchased our first Guernsey heifer. These days we have more than enough milk for our family of six so there is some to share!"

Farmer's statement: "Flowered Cow Dairy LLC is owned and operated by Elizabeth Hesterberg on her family’s farm. Elizabeth is very passionate about providing healthy, clean, low-risk raw milk for her community and bridging the gap between farm and consumer. Coliform and Standard Plate Count tests are run twice per week in the on-farm lab to ensure milk quality and safety.
Each of the Jersey cows in the milking herd at Flowered Cow Dairy is given a floral name to reflect the beauty, femininity, and individual personality of the cow. The small herd is rotationally grazed on pasture throughout the growing season and supplemented with a small ration of non-GMO grain at milking time.
Flowered Cow Dairy supplies pasture-raised eggs and pastured poultry for the family’s on-farm store where the customers pick up their milk subscriptions or purchase pet milk directly. The store also features grass-finished beef raised on the farm and other local products." Instagram: @floweredcowdairy
