Tim Joseph
In a world dominated by corporate conventional farming, Tim Joseph, Founder of Maple Hill, chose a different path. He left his corporate job and embarked on owning a farm while raising his four young boys. That same year, Maple Hill's mission, focusing on "better for the cows, consumers, land, and farmers," began to resonate with a wider audience across the U.S., with this vision going beyond profit margins, seeing dairy farming as a lifestyle to him and hundreds of family farms they work with.
This is how Maple Hill, America's original 100% grass-fed dairy, was founded in 2009.
Today, Maple Hill still focuses on all aspects of the business using regenerative farming practices to drive its mission of Better For You, The Cow, Environment, and Farmer to provide dairy as nature intended.

Maple Hill is dedicated to ethical ingredient sourcing, prioritizing the well-being of consumers, the environment, cows, and farmers. By feeding cows a 100% grass-fed organic diet, they produce the most nutrient-dense milk with a richer flavor and texture. Certified organic also means our farms do not ever use hormones, pesticides or herbicides. Additionally, their commitment to regenerative farming practices enhances soil health, water retention, and carbon sequestration, while regenerative grazing techniques promote a sustainable ecosystem and foster biodiversity. Healthier soil from grazing cows leads to more nutritious grass and, consequently, healthier cows.
Maple Hill ensures cows are fed solely on grass, their natural food source, which enhances their well-being and significantly extends their lifespan. Grass-fed organic farming supports small family farms by providing a financially viable path for them to continue to dairy farm when due to their size it would be very difficult in other systems. Higher milk prices from 100% grass-fed organic farming allow family farms to compete and prosper, ensuring the continuity of their operations for future generations. Through these comprehensive and ethical sourcing practices, Maple Hill produces high-quality, humane, and traceable dairy products to produce the healthiest milk to consumers and uphold the highest standards of sustainability.
