Clay is a 5th generation dairy farmer who supplies pasture-raised cream for Vital Farms. His family farmed in New York and Florida for many years, but in 1993 they chose to make South Georgia home. Today, Clay works closely with his father, uncle, and brother-in-law raising a host of grazing girls, comprised of Holsteins, Jerseys and Norwegian Reds, who supply the rich cream that is churned into Vital Farms butter.
Clay’s farm and crew work together by a few guiding principles – winning and losing together, working hard as a team with strong communication, servant leadership and caring for the cows like caring for your own children.
