Earl, William, and Berry Ransom (above right) operate Strafford Organic Creamery with the help of their cousin Stephanie (above left), Earl’s wife, Amy, and a small staff of employees. They have a herd of predominantly Guernsey cows, which are known for their output of rich-flavored, high-butterfat milk. Using processing equipment from Israel, Strafford Organic Creamery is a certified organic farm that provides the Co-op with five types of milk throughout the year, including creamline, whole, skim, 1 percent, and 2 percent, plus eggnog (in season).
