Welcome to Clover Farm

Meet a Calf You Can Adopt and Follow All School Year

I’m Farmer Tony Graves, and I am part of Clover Farms, a family dairy farm that was established in 1943 by my father. Today, Clover Farms is operated through a family partnership with my two brothers, my son Walter, and my nephew Ryan.

One of the newest members of our herd is this calf right here. She doesn’t have a name yet, but if your classroom adopts her, you’ll get to name her and watch her grow with monthly photos and updates.

Our calves are Jersey cows, a breed known for their gentle nature and rich, high-quality milk. On our farm, calves are born every day, so there is always a new generation to care for and help grow.

If you’d like to adopt her for your classroom, click the link on the right. Once your adoption form is received, we’ll send you an adoption confirmation email that includes a photo of your calf and a video message from Farmer Tony.

Each month, we’ll send an email with a picture and update on your calf, along with fun, educational materials that help students learn about dairy farming and nutritious dairy foods.

Thanks for reading about Clover Farms and our baby calf. We hope you’ll consider adopting her and following her journey this school year.

For information on the other calves available for adoption, visit the Adoption Barn.

About Clover Dairy Farm

A Family Dairy Farm Since 1943

Clover Farms was established in 1943 by Farmer Tony’s father. What started as a family farm has grown into a large dairy operation that now cares for 1,200 Jersey cows.

Farmer Tony works alongside his family every day, including his son Walter, who manages the milking cows. For Tony, dairy farming has always been in his blood. He has loved it since he was a kid and always knew it was what he wanted to do.

What Makes Our Dairy Farm Special

Clover Farms is committed to producing a good, quality product for families to enjoy. Our cows are milked twice a day, and the milk is sent to the Prairie Farms plant in Olney, Illinois, where it is bottled as fluid milk.

In addition to dairy farming, Clover Farms also grows corn, soybeans, and wheat on 2,800 acres.
