The Musser Family
We are Rufus and Jane with our three sons Junior, Galen, and Mark.
Jane and I are originally from Pennsylvania where I grew up working with my father to grow and sell produce.
In the early 1990's, we moved to Southern Iowa and began dairy farming.
Our Mennonite traditions value hard work, ingenuity, and simple living.
Many of our neighbors are Old Order Amish. Although different, Mennonites and Amish are both Anabaptists, of Swiss heritege, and share many values.
These common values made it easier for us to work together as dairy farmers and cheesemakers to start Milton Creamery.
