The owner of Sher-Brook Dairy told me that it is the “little moments” that keep him going. He milks 32 cows, twice a day, seven days a week.

The milk is certified organic. Farming is done organically and all cow care is accomplished with organic products.

It was the owner’s comment about “little moments” that caught my attention. He wasn’t speaking about the good days, plenty of which he has to offset the bad days. It was something beyond the good and bad of human life.

“It’s those small moments when I’m out in the pasture, bringing in the cows and I feel at peace with the universe,” he said.

He spends hundreds of hours on the tractor, planting, cultivating, and harvesting hay and corn. “But, there will be little moments when I’m out on the tractor, by myself with the cows, and I experience a powerful good that keeps me going.”
