History A history in the dairy business... a Van Der Geest family tradition! The Gary Van Der Geest Family - Mary Kay, Gary, Amy, Beth & Lee Over 50 years ago, Gary & Mary Kay Van Der Geest purchased this farm which consisted of 120 acres and a 17 cow wood stall barn. The business originated with purchasing and selling fine herds of dairy cattle with a 2-milking guarantee. Today, through expansion steps, the farm is a family operation that has evolved into 6,000 acres with 3,000 dairy cattle. The four-generation business was built on a quality reputation of service to family dairy farms and commitment to the environment with emphasis on the importance of agriculture.
