In 1967 Ross Sparkman purchased a small dairy in Colquitt County and Sparkman's Dairy was born. From the beginning, the new dairyman operated by the philosophy he and his family were "stewards of the land," following environmentally sound waste management and soil conservation practices. Committed to quality, Ross believed in treating his all-jersey cows with care, not using artificial hormones* and in producing the finest dairy products possible.
The same core values are in force today as son Ricky Sparkman and his three sons Matthew, Ryan and Dustin begin a new phase in the life of the dairy with Sparkman's Cream Valley. Beginning in 2007, Sparkman's now offers a line of custom, high-quality dairy products in a new production facility right on the farm, using milk from their own cows.
Taste is what it is all about – and taste is a significant difference in the Sparkman Cream Valley dairy products. In fact, some folks have called the taste of our dairy products "heavenly." We appreciate the compliment! To answer those who wonder how we do it...well, here's our secret: we still maintain artificial hormone* free, all-jersey cows so the initial dairy product is of the highest quality – resulting in superior tasting milk, buttermilk, yogurt, butter.
That's it. Nothing fancy...just outrageously delicious dairy that will leave you asking for more.
