HISTORY:

South Mountain Creamery was founded in 2001 by Randy and Karen Sowers, who have been farming together for over 30 years.

As Maryland’s first on-the-farm dairy processing plant, South Mountain Creamery does dairy differently. From the time a calf is born to the time her milk is made into our delicious dairy products, we practice the highest integrity to ensure a quality, responsibly made product.

South Mountain Creamery aims to leave as small a carbon imprint as possible, through being a self-sustaining farm in all of our practices. From our manure injector, to our soybean press that makes animal feed and biodiesel, to wind turbines, solar energy, and geothermal loops to produce natural heat.
