You might notice fewer cows along Dairy Farm Road these days.
That s because the Hopkins family has downsized their operation and after 80 years no longer sells milk commercially.
And farm owner Walt Hopkins is turning over the operation to the next generation, with sisters Ingrid Hopkins and Amy Hopkins leading the way. “We ll let the next generation decide what happens next,” Walt said.
The family has sold 600 of its cows but still maintains a herd of over 400 at Green Acres Farm west of Lewes.
“We still have a dairy here, but we are not shipping milk,” Walt said.
Most of the cows were sold to a large dairy farm near Watertown in upstate New York, near Lake Ontario, while some ended up on farms in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
