From Cow to Cone

Husband and wife team, Greg and Sue Harrison, are holding the grand opening of Brookfield Dairy Ice Cream Company July 29 and 30 from 10-5 p.m. Their mobile ice cream trailer can go just about anywhere, but for now you can find them just outside Leesburg at the corner of Rt. 15 and Harmony Church Road.

Brookfield Dairy Farm, located in Loudoun County, is a family-owned and operated farm with a long and rich history in dairy farming. With a commitment to wholesome practices and sustainable farming, Brookfield Dairy Farm produces high-quality milk, cream and butter.

The Harrisons have deep roots in the dairy farming industry over generations. Greg grew up on the historic Brookfield Dairy Farm in Loudoun County. With a personal and extensive background in dairy farming spanning over 55 years, Greg took a hiatus in 1984 while building another business, but rediscovered his passion for the industry when their daughter, Eleanor, became involved in 4-H dairy cows and showing a decade ago.

Motivated by their desire to support the local dairy industry and promote farm-to-table food initiatives, Greg and Sue decided to venture into the ice cream business, bringing their expertise and dedication to providing high-quality dairy products to the community.

Brookfield Dairy Farm, situated south of Leesburg on Harmony Church Road, boasts a picturesque location just 2 miles west of Rt. 15. The farm spans approximately 100 owned and leased acres and is home to a growing herd of 35 prize winning dairy cows, with more expected to join soon.

The farm takes pride in its registered Brown Swiss and Holstein cows, known for their exceptional milk quality and specific qualities. Brown Swiss cows produce high-fat, high-protein milk, making it ideal for cheese production. These docile, friendly and adaptable cows are known for their longevity and tolerance to extreme temperatures.

At Brookfield Dairy Farm, the Harrisons’ endeavor to follow wholesome practices, ensuring a sustainable and healthy environment for their cows. The cows are pasture raised and have access to open barns, allowing them to adhere to their natural eating and sleeping regimens. The farm uses a healthy balanced ration of corn silage, hay and grain without any additives, ensuring the cows’ well-being. Additionally, the milk produced on the farm is antibiotic-free, without the use of growth hormones.
