Small Dairy for Small Farms details Adam Klaus's experience starting a small dairy farm called Bella Farm in Colorado. He purchased 12 acres of abandoned orchard land and built the farm from scratch over several years. Klaus came to believe that starting a dairy would be a good fit for the farm, as cows can graze pastures and convert grass into milk. The farm now has a holistically managed dairy herd of Brown Swiss cows that provide multiple benefits, including fertilizing the land and feeding other farm animals. The cows are managed through permaculture genetics, daily milking, and rotational grazing to support a regenerative and sustainable small farm model.
