Breese Hollow Dairy sounds like the setting of a bad Johnny Depp movie, but it’s the source of raw milk that tested positive for Llsteria monocytogenes and campylobacter on June 30, 2010.

Samples are taken monthly by the State and tested at the New York State Food Laboratory to determine that the milk is free of pathogenic bacteria. Breese Hollow Dairy also participates in a voluntary food borne pathogen bulk tank testing program through Quality Milk Production Services at Cornell University that tests our milk weekly for pathogens.

To date, no illnesses are known by the Department to be associated with raw milk from our farm and we are doing everything possible to work with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets.
