Why Jersey Cheese? At Ropp Farms we raise only registered Jersey cows. Jerseys are a breed of cows that have a beautiful smaller frame, are butterscotch in color, and produce a much creamier milk. This rich milk is due to a consistently higher protein and calcium content produced specifically by Jersey cows.

Why Ropp Jersey Cheese? For 10+ years the Ropp Family has dreamed of starting an on-farm cheese processing facility and retail store. Formerly, production agriculture was a vital fabric to daily life. Now many children don’t realize their milk comes from a cow and not just the grocery store. The Ropp Family would like to share their knowledge and farm heritage to not only educate the public but also promote agriculture as a vital industry to American life.

**We proudly offer the finest in Illinois produced goods.
