SANDIA, Texas â For nearly 100 years, Knolle Dairy Farms has operated in Sandia. The farm has been in commercial milk production since 1928. At one point, it was the worldâs largest herd of Jersey cattle, milking 7,000-8,000 heads of cattle, operating on 10,000 acres of land. Recently, the farm began a new venture; processing and selling its own dairy products.
The plan for an on-site processing facility started around four years ago. After 22 months of construction, the project was finished in 2020, and Knolle Dairy Farms began selling homemade cheese in November.
