Ingles Farm

Ingles Farm, milking Devon cattle in Radford, VA, is rooted in the New River Valley near Blacksburg. Owner John Jeffries has over twenty years of experience breeding milking Devon cattle and follows breed association standards with regular health screenings. The cattle graze on managed pastures and spend winters in spacious barns, where daily handling encourages gentle temperaments. Ingles Farm emphasizes sustainable grazing practices and balanced nutrition to support both the animals and the land.

The herd’s consistent milk yields are well suited for artisanal cheese making and dairy products.

They occasionally host educational workshops to share best practices in small-scale dairy farming.
