Dayspring Dairy is a family owned and operated farm. We are the first licensed sheep dairy and producer of sheep milk cheeses in Alabama. All of our cheeses are made from milk from our flock of eighty contented dairy sheep, shepherded by Greg Kelly. We affectionately call them “our girls” and they are at the heart of our farmstead cheesemaking operation. Lovingly Crafted Sheep’s Milk Products
There are a few potential reasons why some people might consider sheep's milk to be better than cow's milk. These reasons may include:
-
Nutritional content: Sheep's milk is generally considered to be more nutrient-dense than cow's milk. It contains higher levels of protein, calcium, and other minerals.
-
Allergy-friendliness: Some people who are allergic to cow's milk may be able to tolerate sheep's milk better, as it contains different proteins that may be less irritating to the digestive system.
-
Taste: Some people find that sheep's milk has a richer, creamier flavor than cow's milk.
-
Sustainability: Sheep's milk production may be more sustainable than cow's milk production, as sheep are often easier to raise and require less feed and resources to produce milk.
Our goal is to produce unique, delicious, safe, and healthy cheeses for our customers. Dayspring Dairy cheeses start with the highest quality milk. Our sheep graze on our lush native pastures year round producing milk with unique flavor profiles. We never use pesticides or commercial fertilizer on our pastures. Likewise, our sheep are never given hormones. All of these factors help us produce cheeses that are one-of-a kind. Dayspring Farm is a family operation, and our children also enjoy contributing to the farm and will be an integral part of our business as they grow and mature.
Why Dayspring? Dayspring means sunrise and is a biblical reference to Jesus. We know God has led us to do this endeavor which is why we have named it Dayspring Dairy, to give Him the honor and glory.
