Our Story


Born in 2016 out of a deep love for dairy, community, and doing things properly. Gippsland Jersey was co-founded by Sallie Jones (a local passionate about mental health and regional resilience) and Steve Ronalds (a 4th-generation Jindivick dairy farmer). Together, they set out to bridge the gap between farmer and consumer.
  • 100% Premium Jersey Milk: Sourced from four local family farms who share our commitment to animal welfare, transparency, and quality.
  • Fair Prices, Always: We bypass the corporate giants to ensure our farmers are paid fairly, keeping our food system independent and Australian-owned.
  • More Than Milk: We lead with integrity, courage, and heart—proudly championing rural mental health, suicide prevention, and spreading kindness.
From national award-winning table milk to rich cream, cheese, and cultured butter, we keep dairy tasting exactly the way it should.

More Than Milk: Why We Fight For Our Farmers

After co-founder Sallie Jones lost her father to suicide, she channelled her grief into creating a values-led business alongside 4th-generation dairy farmer Steve Ronalds. Our mission was clear from day one: pay farmers a fair price, and brutally tackle the mental health crisis plaguing rural Australia.

We believe a bottle of milk can be a catalyst for conversation. Through our calendars, community events, and everyday advocacy, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our regional families.
