About the Farm
Jersey Girls Dairy was established in Chester, Vermont in 1999 by Lisa Kaiman, a Princeton, New Jersey native who first milked cows as an aspiring veterinarian. Before opening her own farm, Kaiman spent eight years working on other people's farms, studying what she liked and didn't like about dairy operations. She purchased an old farmhouse that had no running water or electricity and started remodeling, maintaining her mantra throughout the challenging process: "We Are All What We Eat."
The farm operates with a cow comfort based philosophy, featuring intensive rotational grazing, non-fermented feeds, and an open space barn life for their small herd of registered Jersey cows. Kaiman raises bull calves for cruelty-free veal, a small number of A2/A2 genetics heifer calves to move towards a 100% A2/A2 milking herd, and crosses the majority of calves with wagyu beef bulls. Through hard work, innovative thinking and sincere love of her animals, she has grown her farm and on-farm store into a thriving business that includes selling raw milk to Vermont's finest cheese makers and neighbors alike.
Kaiman's dedication to quality and humane farming practices has earned national recognition. In 2012, she was featured at The James Beard House in New York City for the "Vermont Veal Renaissance Dinner," a celebration of her forward-thinking veal operation and how a small dairy farmer can make humanely raised veal an economically viable solution. Her products have made their way to several New York City restaurants and are available to the public through various distribution channels. The farm welcomes visitors to meet the cows, talk with Lisa, and learn more about small dairy farming in Vermont.
