We are deeply committed to the environment and have taken numerous steps over the years to become more energy efficient and operate all aspects of the farm in an eco-friendly way. One of the most obvious “green things” we do is bottle our milk in glass. All of our re-usable glass bottles are washed on-site in our processing plant. The waste water from our bottle washer (grey water) is sent over to our manure slurry storage. Here the water is mixed with manure from the barns and provides a healthy balance of nutrients for natural field fertilization.

We also produce about 150kW of solar power, with panels placed only on rooftop real estate, not to compromise our pastures and crop fields. Other measures that we have in place is energy-efficient lighting and cooling systems, and variable speed pumps for the milking equipment.

Reassurance of knowing exactly where your food comes from is something that we want for our families. That’s why we take pride when you choose Mapleline milk for yours. We take this responsibility serious, and it goes beyond putting quality milk in a bottle. It’s ensuring that we are practicing the most environmentally friendly practices to safeguard our natural resources for the benefit and enjoyment of our future generations and yours.

We do not use any synthetic growth hormones (rBST as it’s commonly known as) and our Jerseys have a diet that is mostly home-grown in the pastures surrounding the farm.
