Our People
At Roston Farm, our employees are our priority. We work to ensure a safe workplace through PPE for our employees, share safety topics at our monthly meetings, track safety incidence rates and work to make sure we’re on track as an organization. We foster a team atmosphere that values our employees. We are a diversified team – in experiences and backgrounds – and we’re committed to teaching and developing people in their roles.
Our Cows
We’ve created a culture of treating animals with care and respect. We work with dairy nutritionists and veterinarians to ensure our animals of all stages of life receive the best nutrition and animal care. Best management practices are developed and employees are trained on protocols.
Our Environment
The life cycle of crops is certainly noticeable around Roston Farm. Cows eat feed, which is converted to milk; nutrients from manure are used to fertilize the soil that produces crops to feed our cows. We utilize nutrient management plans to keep the land and cows in balance. It’s our responsibility to care for the land.
We recycle the water we use for cooling milk, flushing cow sheds and irrigating crops. And, we’re tracking our water use to learn how we can improve our water conservation in the future.
