About the Farm
High Lawn Farm's remarkable story began in the early 1920s in the beautiful Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts, when a young girl named Marjorie Field spent summers at what would become her life's passion. Her parents had a vision to start an all-Jersey cattle farm, knowing that Jerseys produced the richest, creamiest milk of all breeds. After her mother's passing in 1934, a newly married Marjorie and her husband Colonel George Wilde took over High Lawn with the desire to expand it, driven not by profit but by a genuine calling to care for their Jersey herd.
Marjorie became a world-renowned pioneer in Jersey breeding despite never having formal training in genetics. Her devotion to the cattle was legendary - she knew everything about every cow, heifer, and calf, carrying around her records book like it was her Bible. Through her special selection and breeding program, High Lawn Farm cows came to produce about four times as much milk with 17% more protein and 20% more calcium per unit of feed than average cows. The farm became known as "the cradle of the Jersey breed," with the Jersey Journal calling it "one of the greatest examples of cattle breeding ever witnessed." Marjorie and the Colonel won Master Breeder Awards from the American Jersey Cattle Club, and more than 100,000 Jersey cows worldwide can trace their heritage back to High Lawn Farm.
Today, nearly 100 years later, this third-generation family-owned dairy farm is still owned and loved by the Wilde family, approaching their centennial anniversary. They continue Marjorie and the Colonel's vision with the same dedication to herd integrity and quality. Their Jersey cattle graze on fresh grass in summer, sleep on waterbeds in heated barns during winter, are never given rBST, and eat feed grown primarily on their own corn and hayfields. The farm's team of artisans finds great joy in exploring new ways to express the freshness of their pure Jersey milk, believing that love is the foundational ingredient in every High Lawn dairy product they handcraft at their Berkshires farmstead.
