About Myzel Risin’

About Hufford Family Dairy
Hufford Family Dairy is where forages are harvested, calves are born and raised, cows are cared for and milked, and cheese is cultured and aged. This is our vision of maintaining our legacy of stewardship of the land, husbandry of livestock, and production of “Farm to Table” dairy products.
About Fruited Plain Seeds
Fruited Plain Seeds was founded in 1987 to produce certified organic seed for area farmers. Through the years, we have evolved into cleaning food grade grain for the organic food industry. The cleaning operation is certified organic by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA). Although we do not certify as organic our food products, we strive to use sustainable and natural production methods for our products in order to produce clean, fresh, non-GMO, wholesome food at reasonable prices. We only sell our food products locally.
