www.picketfencecreamery.net
Picket Fence Creamery is a family owned and operated, licensed and inspected Grade A dairy farm and bottling plant located just 20 minutes southwest of Ames near Woodward. Jeff, Jill, Jenna and James Burkhart offer locally produced, very high quality dairy products that are 100% natural, free of artificial hormones, and from cows that graze chemical free pastures.
Picket Fence milk is vat pasteurized (lower temperature to retain flavor and nutrients), and non-homogenized (cream will rise to the top). The Burkharts started their dairy over 30 years ago. Products include skim, 2%, and whole milk, cream, six varieties of fresh white cheddar cheese curds (plain, dill, garden herb, garlic, hot pepper and bacon), Neva's cheese ball, and "the best darned chocolate milk this side of the Milky Way!" Their farm store offers the dairy products, local grass fed beef, and other meats and foods from over 100 Iowa families. Store hours are Monday-Saturday, 8am to 8pm, and one Sample Sunday a month from noon to 5pm. For information, go to www.picketfencecreamery.net, call 515-438-2697, or email jbmilk@minburncomm.net.
We offer our products both as a dairy share and "a la carte".

Our farm has 20 beautiful, grass-fed cows and we milk these cows and make all of their milk into cheese right on the farm.
We are located in central Iowa, just north of Jewell, and have been selling cheese since the fall of 2016.
We are passionate about community and love to see how our farm contributes to the revitalization of rural Iowa.
We offer our cheeses on the a la carte form.
