Eby Manor Farm has been part of our family since 1959, when my father, Howard Eby, first purchased the farm. Today, we continue that legacy as a proud family-owned and operated business. My wife, Ruth, and I run the farm alongside our son, Ben, and his wife, Sheri, with the support of other family members who help uphold our commitment to quality farming and dairy production.

Our journey into dairy processing began in May 2012, when we produced and bottled our first batch of milk. We were inspired by the exceptional qualities of Guernsey milk and saw an opportunity to share its benefits with more people. What makes our milk special is its 100% A2 protein content, which many find easier to digest than conventional milk.

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is hearing from customers who previously struggled with milk sensitivities and can now enjoy dairy again. Knowing that our milk makes a difference in people’s lives is what drives our passion every day.

Today, we proudly supply our milk to cafés, retailers, and restaurants, primarily in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. However, our reach has grown, and you can now find Eby Manor milk in stores across Ontario. We remain dedicated to providing high-quality, farm-fresh dairy that families can trust and enjoy.

AMAZING COWS MAKING AMAZING MILK!

Guernsey cows are simply amazing, and the milk they provide us is equally amazing. Their milk is naturally higher in many nutrients and it has a different casein protein (A2) which means more people can enjoy dairy.

A2 Protein

The majority of Guernsey cows produce milk containing the A2 beta-casein protein (the lesser known A protein). There is growing anecdotal evidence that individuals with illnesses that generally cannot tolerate milk or are exasperated by milk, can both tolerate and benefit from drinking Guernsey milk with the A2 protein.

While our complete herd has not been tested for the exact concentration of A2, the A2 protein is present in the milk of 96% of Guernseys, according to the World Guernsey Cattle Federation.

It’s being said that A2 milk is better for allergies such as gut (including irritable bowel symptoms), skin rashes, hay-fever and cough, and some even suggest that some children with behavioral conditions may benefit from A2 milk.

“I have seen firsthand, a clinically significant difference between Eby Manor’s milk and regular store bought milk. A good many of my patients have been able to tolerate this Guernsey milk regardless of their long term history of dairy sensitivity. This milks make up has a medically relevant difference in its protein content. The casein protein is of the A2 type instead of A1. It is this distinction that has allowed many of my patients to enjoy milk on their cereals once again!

Beta-Carotene

Beta-carotene is known as an antioxidant and a great immunity booster. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which helps to maintain good eye health and vision, healthy skin, and strengthen the immune system. The University of Maryland Medical Center states that there is evidence suggesting beta-carotene may even reduce the risk of developing cancer or heart disease.

Guernsey milk naturally contains higher levels of beta-carotene. They are not fed a special diet to increase the levels of beta-carotene present in their milk. Guernseys do not metabolize beta-carotene like other cows do, rather they pass it from their food to their milk.

GMO FREE

Nature knows best. Our cows have a GMO-free diet. We grow non-GMO crops and source only non-GMO nutrition from our local feed mill. Yes, our milk is GMO free.

No Antibiotics

Eby Manor Golden Guernsey milk is free of antibiotics. We only use antibiotics when it is absolutely necessary to treat an infection or serious illness. We follow strict protocols when an animal has been treated and maintain records following the treatment. All milk from treated animals is discarded until the milk is free of any antibiotic residue.

Low Temperature Pasteurization

Canadian dairy product regulations require that all milk sold for public consumption be pasteurized. In compliance with these laws, Eby Manor Golden Guernsey milk is carefully pasteurized at the lowest allowable temperature to ensure minimal processing and maximum goodness.

Calcium

Calcium is the key supportive element in bones and teeth, giving bones their strength and rigidity. It is also important for your organs and bodily functions. For example, you need adequate amounts of calcium for your heart and metabolism to operate at their best. Calcium helps to contract muscles, form blood clots and transmit nerve impulses. The body needs vitamin D to efficiently absorb calcium, both of which are naturally found in Guernsey milk. In fact, the World Guernsey Cattle Federation notes that Guernsey milk contains 33% more vitamin D and 15% more calcium than average milk.

Local

Milk from your backyard. All Eby Manor milk comes from our family farm in Waterloo Ontario.

Journey from Farm to Table

We milk our Guernseys twice a day. Once at 5 am and again at 4pm. We sanitize the teats and use an automated milking machine which gently draws the milk from the cow’s udder. The milk then travels through stainless steel pipes into a temperature-controlled cooler; these pipes are sanitized twice a day. The milk is delivered to Hewitt’s dairy plant to be pasteurized and placed into our glass bottles. At the end of this process, the finished product is delivered to our various retailers.

About Milk Intolerance

Some people who have reactions such as stomach upset, congestion, migraines, sore joints, rash, and ear infections when they ingest standard milk* can enjoy milk or milk products that are predominately A2 without experiencing any discomfort.*

Standard Canadian cow’s milk contains predominately A1 Beta Casein, a milk protein to which some people have a sensitivity. But some cows produce A2 Beta Casein, as do goats and many other mammals, including humans. Milk from Golden Guernsey cows, is predominately A2.

Eby Manor Ltd. does not claim that Golden Guernsey Milk will benefit all people who have milk intolerances.

Some people with Crohn’s, Colitis and Irritable Bowel Syndromecan consume milk and milk products that are predominately A2.

Some people with Autism benefit from milk and milk products that are predominately A2.

Some people with Type 1 Diabetes have found that milk and milk products that are predominately A2 have less impact on blood sugar levels.
