History

Springwood Organic Farm transitioned to organic dairying in the 1990s and has since been a pioneering presence in sustainable agriculture. Located in Kinzers, Pennsylvania, the farm spans 220 acres, with 165 acres dedicated to grazing.

Practices

Springwood Organic Farm is deeply committed to organic and regenerative practices. They specialize in a 100% grass-fed dairy system, ensuring optimal health for the herd and the quality of their milk, primarily contributing to Maple Hill Organic products. Their approach includes adaptive grazing, diverse pasture management, and seasonal herd strategies.

The farm extends its organic ethos to beef and poultry. Their pastured beef comes from organic dairy cattle, known for healthier fats and fewer calories. Chickens are raised on locally sourced, certified organic grains, and the farm employs heritage genetics to maintain robustness and quality.
