A FRESH TASTE WITH LOCAL PEACE OF MIND

What does a Marybelle cow eat?

An average cow at the Marybelle home farm will produce approximately 10,000 liters of milk every 365-400 days so between 25 & 27 liters each day.  Bare in mind that the average cow weighs around 600-700 kilograms, which means she will produce close to 15 times her own weight of Milk in just one year.  In order to produce all this delicious Milk our cow has to eat a phenomenal amount of food and drink gallons of water every day.
