Happy Cow Creamery

Pelzer, SC, 29669 US / SC

Location Description

Happy Cow Creamery is a family-owned dairy farm in Pelzer, South Carolina that bottles and sells its own milk on site from the farm’s closed herd of grass-fed Holstein cattle. The creamery’s whole milk, buttermilk and chocolate milk is sold in the farm’s on-site store and through grocery, convenience and country stores in Upstate region of South Carolina. The milk is not homogenized and is low-temperature pasteurized and inspected by the State of South Carolina.[1] The dairy is noted for owner Tom Trantham’s system of rotating pasture feeding dubbed 12 Aprils.[2] For this innovation, Trantham was awarded the first Patrick Madden Award for Sustainable Agriculture in 2002 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES).[3]
