A passion to help keep their family farm and creamery
thriving led sisters Amy and Beth Marcoot to create an
unexpected product line. What began with the production
of cheese and ice cream for people evolved into
Marcoot Jersey Creamery's dairy-based dog treat product
line - Dog-O's.
Dating back to 1840, Marcoot Jersey Creamery in
Greenville, Ill., has a rich history of providing dairy products
to its community. Run by the Marcoot sisters, the
seventh-generation farmers decided to continue the family
tradition and build upon the farm they grew up with.
The sisters followed their family's suggestion to move on
from the farm after high school and build their own careers;
however, in 2007, when questions began to arise
about what was next for the farm and if the family should
sell it, they decided to return and build upon the legacy.
" It really didn't sit well with us, of letting that legacy
go, " said Beth Marcoot. " So, with a lot of thinking, a lot
of planning, a lot of, 'What do we do?' we decided to add
more value to our cow's milk rather than shipping it to
a processor. "
With the decision to produce milk products such as
cheese and ice cream on the farm, the sisters opened the
creamery in 2010. The first project was to make cheese
with milk from their Jersey cows, the same breed they've
had since 1840. The grass-fed cows are known for producing
high-butterfat and high-protein milk.
Where the magic happens: All of Marcoot's products are
manufactured from the farm's creamery.
Seventh-generation family farmers Amy and Beth
Marcoot bring dairy delights to the pet treat aisle.
