At Horizon Organic, we are proud to work with more than 580 family farms
across the country. This month we would like to introduce you to Perrin
Farms.
Jack and Cindy Perrin have owned Perrin Farms
in Woodburn, Oregon for 30 years. After decades of dairy experience, Jack
Perrin has a straightforward dedication to the farm. Asked why he chose
to go into dairy, he answers, simply "I decided I liked it... It’s
good hard work, and it doesn’t change much." Jack and Cindy’s two grown
children, Matthew and Stephanie, also work on the farm, which is home to
160 head of Holstein and Ayrshire cattle.
