Welcome to Sky Top Organics!
From our Amish Farm and Family to yours
Thank you for choosing to welcome our grass-fed, open pasture 100% organic, non-GMO, Amish farmed milk, cheese and egg products to your family! Our dedicated family-run company is working every day to bring our healthy, simple, organic, pure goodness to you. Our family farmers have utilized the same regenerative farming practices using the lowest possible carbon footprint since the Amish first arrival in the US in 1717 and were welcomed by a gentlemen named William Penn!
Real Horsepower! Instead of the standard carbon heavy tractors (allowed in organic farming but not ours) and farm vehicles, we follow Amish traditions using real horses and mules to work the land. Our cows enjoy the fresh air while enjoying a bountiful diet of mixed native grasses, they have names and not numbers which are just of a few of the benefits of old-fashioned Amish bucolic organic regenerative farming. Our milk is then kettle pasteurized in small batches, and unhomogenized which we believe is optimal for your health. Our organic cheese is craft-made utlizing recipes from “the old-world” dating back to when Amish brought there cheese making recipes with them from Switzerland in the 1700’s. As well you will find out more about our down-home family approach to doing business the old fashioned way.
We have the greatest reverence for mother earth and all that call her home and are committed to constant improvement. So please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments you have, and as always we so appreciate when you...

History of Amish farming
1717 the first Amish arrived in the USA where William Penn allowed them to live and farm without religious persecution in Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
300+ years later our Amish farming partners live and farm the same regeneratively organic way with the lowest carbon footprint possible as they use no electricity nor electric vehicles. Our horsepower comes from real horses!

Our Farms and Practices
Sky Top Farms is family-run and dedicated to regenerative farming and production methods. We have the greatest reverence for mother earth and all that call her home. In 2002, Sky Top Farms was founded as a cooperation between small farmers and our artisan dairy to bring outstanding small-batch products to market. We recognized the growing demand for delicious, healthy and simply made organic products, and we decided to turn our business focus to where our hearts and conscience always were.
For over twenty years we have brought the farmers market to your home by way of our outstanding, high-quality, artisanal, organic products. Our philosophy is 'less is more' when it comes to offering wholesome simply made products from exceptional ingredients that we’re proud to serve our family and yours! We invite you to reach for the top with Sky Top Farms and explore our flavourful and nutritious products!
Our Cows Are Extended Family
We are fully committed to family farming and keep our cow herd below 100 to ensure they get the tender loving care they deserve. Our cows have names, not numbers and get plenty of access to pasture to enjoy a diet of grass-fed goodness while they roam about, in addition to certified organic and non GMO haylage during inclement weather.
Our USDA certified organic dairy is certified and inspected by North American Supply Chain Food Safety (NSF) to ensure the highest quality, as well all our milk is OU Kosher Certified and inspected. For these many good reasons we believe our organic grass-fed, unhomoginzed, cream at the top milk is best served in a champagne glass:)
Organic Cheese Blocks
We truly believe we are what we eat, so we make sure you and your family enjoy only the best tasting artisan produced cheeses made from the finest milk. It all starts with our 100% organic grass-fed milk. Our cows are treated like extended members of the Amish family that care for them and are known by names not fed numbers they enjoy access to the great outdoors that go well above and beyond organic standards enjoying a regenerative mix of grasses. Our cheese is crafted using old world artisan methods that allow for the flavors of our delicious milk to stand out as well as a more yellow hue that represents the healthy grass milk used. We believe our happy cows make SUPER CHEESE!
Unhomogenized Milk
"The cream always rises to the Top" -So much more than a metaphor! All of our milk products come from happy, grass fed cows, so why mess with their milk by homogenizing it? We never do which is why our cream rises to the top. And why are our cows happy? They have names instead of numbers and are raised with love on a third generation Amish family farm enjoying a mix of regenerative grasses and plenty of room to roam and be social. While there is debate about the health effects of homogenization, you can rely on the fact that Sky Top Milk is the closest you can get to raw. Our grass fed milk is never homogenized and only gently kettle pasteurized, as we believe this locks in more of the nutrients and great taste derived from the grass fed goodness. Don't be alarmed, just enjoy the cream first or shake it up -have it your way, but enjoy the creamy, rich taste. Currently, the following products are available, and stay tuned for exciting new ones coming soon!
Super Eggs
We truly believe we are what we eat, so we make sure you and your family enjoy only the best tasting artisan organic eggs. Our Hens are NON-GMO and have never been fed animal fats or hormones and only enjoy 100% grains, most of which are milled right on the farm. They are given a protected space to roam, roost and, nest, and raised with care in a natural and healthy environment. Our hens have a cage free way of living and are given access to outdoor air and sunlight, besides natural light in their barns whenever the weather forces them indoors. We believe our happy hens make SUPER EGGS!
