Where Food Comes From Presents a Storybit Production...
Tom’s family story dates back all the way to 1914 in Northeastern Pennsylvania with his great grandfather milking eight cows in a small barn without any electricity. It’s a little hard to imagine not having any electricity in this day and age. That farm has passed from generation to generation beginning with Tom’s grandfather and on down to his mom and dad and then to him. But, Tom and Judy began to see a change. The population was growing and logistics were making it difficult to be dairy farmers. They knew if they were going to stay in the dairy industry they had to make a change. So, in 1999, visiting many cities in many states, Tom and Judy moved their family to Rexford, KS., a place they saw the most potential for sustainability, a place they believed they could operate until their sons, if they chose, could take over, which they did.
Since then McCarty Family Farms has grown to five farms - three in Kansas, one in Nebraska and the most recent addition in Ohio. This requires a lot of coordination, which is why the McCarty brothers divide the responsibilities of running the farms. The entire team at McCarty Family Farms receives special training in animal care, handling, and nutrition to ensure that every animal receives the proper care and respect. Let’s just say they are a team of multiple families with one mission. They are creating wholesome dairy products with the future in mind.
