The family dairy farm was begun in 1950 by Alan's parents, Kenneth and Mary Lois.  We now manage it as a 100% grass-fed operation, creating artisanal raw cheeses from the rich golden milk of our pasture-fed cows since 2000. 

The Swiss Connection is nestled northeast of the small town of Clay City, Indiana (known as "Mayberry of the Midwest"), about an hour's drive from the Indianapolis airport.  Visitors to the farm can see the cows grazing, the milking barn, and even watch the cheesemaking process on the days when cheese is being made.

In addition to being 100% grass-fed, our animals are raised without using hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.  So although our cheeses, beef, and pet products are not certified organic, we are confident they're even better!  It is a privilege to be taking care of a part of creation, which in turn allows us to be a part of meeting the needs of the people whose paths we cross.
