voted ‘best milk in victoria’ - Dairy industry association Victoria!
Two people with a dream to bring fairness and independence to the dairy industry.
Steve Ronalds and Sallie Jones are the Co-Founders of Gippsland Jersey, a boutique milk brand born out of their own personal challenges during the 2016 milk crisis.
Steve had lost faith in the dairy industry when the dairy crisis happened and wanted to ensure that he could make his farm sustainable into the future, and Sallie’s life was tipped upside down when her entrepreneurial dairy farming dad took his own life just a few weeks before the dairy crisis.
Gippsland Jersey didn't have a grand vision apart from making change in a challenging industry. Their humble aspirations were for Sallie to earn enough to cover her children's school fees and for Steve to alleviate some farm debt. Their partnership thrives on mutual respect, open communication, unwavering dedication, and lots of sacrifice.
Gippsland Jersey aims to be the go-to choice for table milk, and they're committed to giving their all and showing up every day.
They're building for the future generation of dairy farmers who desire a fair and independent food system and they're determined to remain proudly independent and Australian-owned.
