Charles, George, Thomas, and Mark Crave
Raised on a 40 cow dairy farm near Beloit, Wisconsin, we began farming together in 1978 in Mount Horeb, milking 57 cows on a rented farm.  We purchased our Waterloo dairy farm in 1980 with the goal of building a successful agribusiness.  We soon began milking 100 cows and farming 300 acres. Over the years, we concentrated on increasing the efficiency and productivity of our now 600 cow dairy farm.

Our Philosophy
We are proud to produce and promote high quality milk and cheese.  Through the dairy farm and cheese factory, we enjoy telling the story of modern dairying that emphasizes cow comfort, quality milk and working in harmony with the land to produce quality milk and cheeses.

Numerous groups, international visitors and students have toured our farm. Each of the brothers has also traveled to foreign countries to conduct seminars and help train others in dairy management techniques.  In addition, Crave Brothers Dairy Farm has offered work experience for a number of international trainees.
