A great boon for Animal Farm Creamery’s business is that restaurants owners and chefs alike like to speak to one another about successful products they use in the kitchen. Couple that with consumers researching the European-style butter that was described during Season 3, Episode 3 of Hulu TV’s “The Bear,” (see Processor Profile) and Animal Farm Creamery is seeing huge demand for its products. A recent “CBS Morning Show” feature about Animal Farm Creamery added even more interest and awareness about the company’s butter.
Hilary Haigh, who owns Animal Farm Creamery with her husband Ben and three children William, Emitt and Leland, is certainly thankful for the notoriety a celebrity chef and a subsequent TV show has brought to the Shoreham, Vt., creamery. But she acknowledges the business cannot grow too much. She has a family of three small children and also operates a farm on her property featuring 15 cows. The only additional employee is a milker who covers about three shifts a week. “That gives us just enough time to spend with our kids,” Haigh says with a laugh.
