Take a Look into Your Glass Bottle

Take a Look into your Glass Bottle...it's what's inside that counts!

Farming Since 1981
South Mountain Creamery is owned and operated by the Sowers Family: Randy, Karen, Ben, and Kate, in cooperation with more than 70 employees.

Farms & Fields
We use over 2,000 acres to raise animals, grow, and harvest crops.

Cows Raised from Birth
Our dairy cows are raised from birth at SMC! Watch a cow give birth in our maternity ward. See all of our calves in the calf barn and meet the Animal Planet calves & chicks. 

Free Choice Feeding
Cows graze in the fields after each milking. Our animals are fed with food harvested from our fields. Animals also have access to a Total Mixed Ration, a balanced diet including grass, hay, grains, and silage.

Twice Daily Milkings
Watch the cows being milked daily! Over 250 dairy cows are milked at 1:30am and 1:30pm.

On-Site Processing
SMC is Maryland's first on-farm dairy processing plant. Our fluid dairy products are packaged in glass bottles to be sustainable. We use HTST (High Temperature Short Time) Pasteurization to retain nutrients and flavor in a full dairy line.

Delivered to Your Door
...Or farm store! Milk is bottled and available the next day. Order through home deliery, at Karen's Kountry Store, two Baltimore Farmer's Markets, Local Restaurants, and specialty stores.

Come See for Yourself! 
South Mountain Creamery is open 24/7. Join us to watch the cows being milked and to bottle feed your own calf. See our production facility with a free tour during our Spring and Fall Festivals!
