THE STORY BEHIND THE BOTTLE

Independent. Farmer-Owned. Made with Heart.

When the 2016 dairy crisis hit, fifth-generation farmer Steve Ronalds was nursing a farm debt, and dairy-farmer's daughter Sallie Jones was grieving the loss of her entrepreneurial dad to mental health. Together, they asked a simple question:

What if a milk brand cared about people as much as the product? >


From a single tanker at the local farmers' market to award-winning tables across Victoria, Sallie and Steve have kept Gippsland Jersey proudly independent. Every bottle supports fair farm-gate pricing, funds vital rural mental health advocacy, and honors the resilient spirit of regional farming families.

New to Jersey Milk?

The Taste- Pure, Rich Creaminess

Jersey cows yield a naturally higher percentage of milk fat and solids. That means an incredibly rich texture, a distinct golden hue, and a sweeter, old-fashioned taste.

The Protein- Naturally A2-Dominant

Most Jersey cows naturally produce the A2 beta-casein protein. Many people who find standard milk hard to digest find our Jersey milk gentle on the stomach.

The Nutrition- Nutrient Dense

Gram for gram, Jersey milk packs significantly more calcium, protein, and Vitamin D than standard commercial milk. It's nutrient-dense fuel, exactly as nature intended

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.
