Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenifer George.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Definitely not a smooth road. The hard work and dedication it takes, the loss of my son and the true blood sweat and tears we have put into all of this.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
If you’ve ever wondered how one cow could change a family’s life, I’d love to share a little of our journey with you. One bottle of milk at a time.
I never planned to start a dairy business. Truly, all I wanted was to feel normal again.
For most of my life, dairy and I didn’t get along. Being lactose intolerant meant discomfort, frustration, and quietly stepping back while others enjoyed the simple joys of milk, cheese, and ice cream. I learned to live without those things, but I never stopped missing them.
There was always one thing that puzzled me, though. My family travels to Italy often, my mom’s side is from there, and every time we visited, I could enjoy dairy and even pasta without a single issue. I could eat freely and feel good. And every time we returned home, I found myself thinking, something isn’t right when I eat here.
That thought stayed with me long enough that I finally did something a little wild.
I convinced my husband to get a dairy cow.
Tom thought I had absolutely lost my mind. He grew up milking cows and had zero interest in revisiting that chapter. The kids weren’t exactly cheering either. But somehow, we brought home our first cow anyway. Her name was Maggie, and she changed everything.
We got lucky, Maggie was A2A2, and for the first time in my life, I could drink milk without pain. I dove into research and discovered that many people who struggle with lactose intolerance can digest A2A2 milk. What began as a personal experiment suddenly felt like a calling; one of those nudges that feels bigger than coincidence.
There was no business plan taped to the fridge. No timeline. No grand vision. But once friends and family learned we had raw milk, my “one family cow” quickly turned into state licensing, a small store on our property, and, eventually, a whole lot more cows. Looking back, it’s hard not to see the fingerprints of faith guiding us through each step.
And just like that, our little family farm became something truly special.
Holy Cow Creamery grew quickly, with plenty of learning along the way and just as many laughs (and yes, a few tears too). My husband Tom, my sister Marcia, and our kids, Justin, Jeffrey, Peyton, and Pyper, were right there beside me through early mornings and late nights. Fixing things, milking cows, cleaning, helping customers, whatever needed doing, we did it together. We learned that hard work feels lighter when it’s shared, and that grace shows up in the everyday moments.
Getting our state license was intimidating. There were days I sat at the kitchen table buried in paperwork, wondering if we had completely lost our minds. But every inspection passed, and every approval felt like a gentle reassurance: Keep going. You’re on the right path.
When we finally opened our store, I cried. Not because everything was perfect, but because it was ours. It felt like a blessing we hadn’t even known to pray for.
Today, Holy Cow Creamery is home to twenty‑four A2A2 milk cows. Every single one has a name and is cared for like family. Every bottle of milk and every product we offer carries a piece of our story, whether people realize it or not.
And our store has grown into so much more than milk. We offer bread made with flour imported from Italy so people with gluten sensitivities can enjoy it, olive oil imported from Italy and infused with herbs, fresh butter, gelato, and an incredible chocolate syrup made from cacao not cocoa. We also raise premium American Wagyu beef right here on our farm, and we’re proud to offer it in our store, fresh, local, and raised with the same care we give to everything we do. And that’s just the beginning.
But our story runs deeper than dairy.
Two years ago, we lost our son Jeffrey. He was only 20 years old.
There’s no handbook for that kind of loss. Time doesn’t heal it – it simply teaches you how to carry it. Jeffrey was full of energy, curiosity, and big dreams. He was a true entrepreneur, always imagining what could be next, always dreaming bigger than what already existed.
After losing Jeffrey, there were days I didn’t know how we would keep going. Some days, even getting out of bed felt impossible, and some days still do. But somehow, this work kept us moving. Grief never leaves, but purpose gives it somewhere to rest.
Building Holy Cow Creamery became our way of honoring him.
Every decision we make carries a bit of his voice. Every new idea gets filtered through one simple question: Would Jeffrey be excited about this? If the answer is yes, we know we’re on the right path. In many ways, it feels like he’s still helping guide us just from a different place.
Holy Cow Creamery isn’t just a business. It’s our family’s resilience you can see it, and you can taste it. It’s love, faith, and sorrow transformed into something real.
When you walk through our doors, I hope you feel more than just great products. I hope you feel care, honesty, and genuine passion. I want you to feel like part of the family, even if you’re just stopping in for one small thing.
This place wasn’t built from ambition alone.
It was built from heart.
It was built from faith.
And it was built from the people who stood beside us when we needed them most.
I truly couldn’t have done any of this without my family and friends. Sometimes, that kind of support is the strongest foundation of all. 💛

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
We would love to expand and do more touring, petting zoo and get the event center/Airbnb up to its full potential. We also want to put a restaurant on the property for specialty dinning with our products
