“My daughter had been crying to go to a farm. I google searched nearest dairy farm to Ames . Brinks dairy farm came up. I told the young lady about my daughter wanting to see the dairy cows and she quickly sprang into action . Long story short my daughter was able to see the cows . I bought a half gallon and some cheese . Customers for life now! I pray that establishment be blessed for generations!”
“We started drinking raw milk last fall and discovered dairy brink recently. A family run operation that is very clean.Very well organized with amazing excellent milk cream, cheese and eggs. Their prices are at market and like many, I don't have problems with the lactose with raw milk. It is a recently discovered local treasure.And we really appreciate that they are here.”
“After fracturing my knee, the doctor wanted me to increase my calcium. Growing up on a farm with a milk cow, there was nothing better than the raw milk and what a better way to get extra calcium than with DairyBrink raw milk. I get their milk, yogurt and kefir, makes for the best smoothies ever. And best of all, some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.”
“My wife and I really enjoyed the raw A2A2 milk Kefir for our smoothies! Their young Swiss and Cheddar cheeses are great for omelettes and grilled sandwiches. We enjoyed some fresh early season strawberries. We plan several trips over the summer to buy more kefir and cheeses. We look forward for more fresh farm produce and try their Norwegian chocolates!”
“They truly understand proper dairy safety, and it shows in the quality of their products—absolutely wonderful. Coming from a hygienist who studies gut health and follows a ketogenic lifestyle, I’m very mindful of what I consume. Their products meet that standard. And their chemical-free strawberries? So good 🍓”
“I was previously unable to drink milk without a reaction. I had been dairy-free for around 10 years, but after drinking DairyBrink’s raw milk, my body was able to handle it and hasn't had issues with dairy since. Great people and great-tasting milk as well!”
“Great family operation offering clean Grassfed raw milk, cheese, and yogurt. Best farm I have found in central Iowa!”
“Absolutely great family run dairy. They have fresh raw milk, great yogurt and cheese. Love the milk!!!”
