Fields of Kairos

Fields of Kairos, Milking Devon cattle in Middletown, VA, is in the Shenandoah Valley near Winchester. Nicole Ciarrocca has more than ten years of experience working with this heritage breed and follows guidelines from the American Milking Devon Cattle Association to ensure animals receive proper health testing, vaccination schedules and hoof care.

Each cow moves through a system of managed pastures on the farm’s gently rolling hills, where careful handling at feeding and milking contributes to a calm daily routine. Calves are socialized by daily human interaction to support steady growth and a trusting disposition in herd settings. Selection focuses on strong udder conformation, balanced structure and reliable milk flow to uphold breed standards.

Fields of Kairos integrates grazing practices that maintain soil vitality and biodiversity. Winter housing includes fresh bedding and consistent access to clean water, reflecting a commitment to animal welfare in every season. This approach to slower growth yields milk with rich flavor appreciated by local cheesemakers.
