Promise Valley Farm
Promise Valley Farm + Creamery is a small, family-run organic dairy farm located in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, established in 2021 by husband-and-wife team Mark and Caroline Nagtegaal, where they live with their four children and cat, Linus.
The desire to milk cows has run strong for Mark and Caroline for as long as they can remember, but opportunities in the dairy industry can be difficult to find. Their first experience milking cows on their own was a small herd on a rented farm, filling rented quota. This lasted for a couple of years, at which time they had the opportunity to purchase a recently empty dairy farm on Richards Trail in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island.
Little did they know at the time that this would become Promise Valley Farm.
