Montgomery County’s Last Dairy Farm
From Our Farm Family to Your Table
Dairy farming is in our blood. We’re proud to keep dairy farming alive in Montgomery County and bring milk, cheese, farm-made ice cream, meat and other local products from our family farm to yours.
When Artie Jay Farm in Dickerson stopped milking this January, Brown Cow Creamery became the last dairy farm left in MoCo. Read the story of how a county once built on Grade A milk got down to a single herd and why we're still here. Read here.
How Now to Brown Cow
We operate a roadside farmstand in Mount Airy and a pick-up spot for preorders only in Dickerson. On our multi-generational family farm in Mount Airy, we raise local grassfed dairy and beef cattle. We also raise pastured pork and egg-laying hens. We grow hay, corn and small grains. We bottle our own milk, and ice cream is made on the farm from the milk of our own cows. Artisan colby and cheddar cheeses are crafted from our milk into cheese in small batches by hand on a Pennsylvania goat farm. To get these amazing local products for yourself, visit our NEW market in Mount Airy or place an order online, email or give us a call to order and pick up in Dickerson by appointment. We do not ship product at this time. (The Mount Airy location no longer offers pick-your-own in the orchard as the owners of the orchard on the farm have retired from this service.)
FARM-RAISED, PASTURED MEATS
Grassfed, all-natural beef and pork raised on the farm. Grab some burgers for your grill or a steak to celebrate.
ARTISAN CHEESES

About us
Kevin and Laurie Savage both grew up on dairy farms surrounded by black-and-white Holsteins. In 1982, a young Laurie got her first brown Jersey calf as a 4-H project and a family tradition was born. By 1997, the year they married, the first brown cows had hit the ground on Kevin's family farm. Their kids, Catherine and James, grew up loving those cows too, and in 2022, the family turned that lifelong passion into Brown Cow Creamery selling cheese, ice cream, and bottled milk, made right here from our own grassfed herd.
We're proud stewards of this land, committed to healthy soil and giving back to our community. Welcome to our herd!
