Our Dairy Farm

Havens Down Home Creamery is a local dairy farm located in Lucedale, MS. All our cows are Jersey or Jersey Holstein cross and they spend their days on lush green pastures and are milked twice daily by Preston and Kristen Havens. We never give our cows any hormones, steroids or antibiotics. Slowly pasteurized at 145 degrees for 30 minutes, we believe this allows the good fat, which is rich in Omega 3s and the original 9 essential vitamins and minerals to be preserved in the milk.

Meet Our Cows

Of all major dairy breeds, the Jersey’s milk boasts the richest content. The milk is very high in butterfat, which provides a better tasting product. It’s also used for making cheese and butter. According to the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), compared to the average glass of milk, milk produced by a Jersey contains 15 to 20 percent more protein, 15 to 18 percent more calcium and 10 to 12 percent more phosphorus, along with high amounts of vitamin B12.

Creamery Products

Our products include cream line milk, chocolate milk, buttermilk, ice cream, spreadable cheese, and beef. All of our products are sold at our Barn store and at our Lucedale location. You can keep track of the location and schedule of our big red Havens Down Home Creamery Ice Cream Wagon through our FaceBook page.

What's Fresh

From Our Family to Yours

The main reason we bought our first cow was to supply our daughter with milk that her stomach could tolerate. Since Kristen's husband, Preston, grew up helping his grandfather on a dairy farm, they soon found themselves wanting to get back to those roots. Since then they've added more cows, a pasteurizing system and the whole family gets involved. Down home family goodness.

Our Story

After finding out our daughter, Presley, was allergic to milk and friends told us what gets done with processed milk we decided to get our first set of cows. We would hand milk them and eventually even our friends were trying the fresh milk and helping out. As we started to grow we just weren’t getting fresh milk we decided to try making butter and cheese, which became a big hit at home and our friends and neighbors.

Starting a Farm

As the years went on more and more friends and family were wanting our products and after adding on we looked into pasteurizing our milk. While looking into this process we found that pasteurizing at a slow temperature kept more of the healthy nutrients and vitamins locked in.

The Best In Taste

and Show

By January we became full up with our pasteurizing process while still remaining true to our roots when we started. We milk 4 cows at a time making it 28 cows milked a day, morning and evening. We never homogenize our milk as that takes away from the natural flavor and it’s healthier. This year we also started showing our cows in competition.

Something for the Holidays

With the year almost over and the cows doing wonderful we decided to add a little something to our line besides all that we already offer. Just in time for the Christmas break, EGGNOG!! Made with our great tasting milk of course.

Ice Cream…..

What a year it’s been. Our grass fed cows are happier then ever and response to our products have been outstanding. So what could we do to top it all off? Make a variety of ice cream of course. Not to mention our own Havens Down Home Creamery mobile ice cream shop!! Keep an eye out at your local events you can’t miss us. Not in Lucedale, MS not to worry we travel to events in Alabama and along the Coast with fresh dairy products all the time.
