The Story Behind Kalona SuperNatural: A Commitment to Quality, Sustainability, and Care. Their steadfast commitment to quality small farms ensures the integrity of their products, showcasing their commitment to quality small farms.
Twenty years ago, a group of dairy farmers in Kalona, Iowa, embarked on a mission to change the dairy industry. They wanted to create a way of farming that was sustainable, chemical-free, and, most importantly, natural. Their vision was simple: partner with nature, not against it. They decided to give their cows room to roam, fresh pastures to graze, and an environment where they could thrive. This dream turned into Kalona SuperNatural, a company committed to bringing you dairy products that are not only exceptional in quality but also grown with care for the land and the animals. This demonstrates their commitment to quality small farms.
A New Kind of Dairy
Kalona SuperNatural isn’t just about producing dairy. It’s about doing it the right way. Instead of large industrial farms that focus on efficiency at the cost of animal welfare and the environment, Kalona SuperNatural partners with small family farms. At these farms, cows come first. Each farm is dedicated to a holistic, sustainable approach to farming. This approach supports the land, the animals, and the farmers themselves, consistently reinforcing their commitment to quality small farms.
These small family farms average just 35 cows. Some farms care for as few as nine. This isn’t just about keeping farms small—it’s about ensuring that each cow gets the attention it deserves. By caring for smaller herds, farmers can treat every animal with the respect it needs to stay healthy and happy. It’s the difference between mass production and real care for animals. This care shows in the quality of the milk and other dairy products Kalona SuperNatural produces. Their commitment to quality small farms is evident.
The Magic of Fresh Pastures
At Kalona SuperNatural, cows aren’t confined to small pens or crowded barns. Instead, they have the freedom to roam, graze on fresh pastures, and enjoy the natural environment. The cows are given what we like to call a “salad bar” of grass. They get a variety of fresh greens to choose from, ensuring they get a healthy and diverse diet.
This approach doesn’t just benefit the cows. It leads to better milk and dairy products. Fresh pasture means healthier cows. That, in turn, means products that are richer in nutrients and flavor. You can taste the difference in every glass of milk, every dollop of cream, and every bite of yogurt. When cows are well-treated and live in an environment that allows them to thrive, their milk reflects that care and quality. This comes from small farms committed to quality.
More Than Just Cows—It’s About the Farmers
The heart of Kalona SuperNatural is its farmers. These are the men and women who tend to their cows like family. They know each animal by name and recognize when something isn’t right. They don’t just run farms—they nurture them. With smaller herds, farmers can keep a close eye on each cow’s behavior and health. This allows them to provide individual care and ensure that every cow is living its best life.
The farmers also take a long-term view of their land, making sure to preserve the soil and the environment for future generations. By adopting organic farming practices and avoiding chemicals, they’re not only caring for the cows but also for the planet. This commitment to sustainable farming is how Kalona SuperNatural can guarantee that their dairy products are not only good for you but good for the world around us. They maintain their commitment to quality small farms.
