Our Promise
It's our mission to connect you directly with the source of your food, American farmers.
We’re committed to organic regenerative farming practices that are good for you and the planet.
Our yogurt is always USDA certified organic, pasture-raised, non-GMO, and free of antibiotics, hormones, and synthetic chemicals.
We are Hayley and Stephanie Painter. Sisters, co-founders, and co-ceos
We grew up running barefoot at Painterland Farms in the rolling hills of Tioga County, Pennsylvania, where our family has been farming for four generations.
We eventually left for college and to travel the world. But the more we experienced, the more we realized just how special our home really is.
It’s our passion to share the joy, beauty, and hard work of farming. We wanted to find a way to connect more people directly with American farmers.
Painterland Sisters Organic Skyr Yogurt was born.
Farming You Can Feel Good About
No harmful chemicals
No synthetic herbicides, pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics are allowed. That stuff doesn’t belong in the soil or our bodies.
Healthy, Happy Animals
Animals on our farms live long, healthy, and happy lives. They graze on pastures and enjoy the attention of their devoted caretakers.
Smaller Carbon Footprint
Organic farms use 45% less energy and release 40% fewer carbon emissions than conventional farms.
Healthy, fertile soil
Practices like crop rotation, rotational grazing, and minimal tillage methods, support high-quality soil thriving with carbon, nutrients, bugs, and a healthy microbiota.
More Bees and Butterflies
Organic farming creates a diverse, non-toxic landscape full of flowers and bugs. Bees, butterflies, bats, and birds love it! This supports a healthy and diverse ecosystem.
Clean Waterways
Organic farming helps reduce water pollution and conserve water by fostering healthy soil that absorbs more moisture. This results in less erosion, which in turn protects our waterways and keeps them clean!
Safe, Healthy Farm Workers
Our mission is to support the American Farmer by giving them a voice and providing an outlet for connecting with consumers like you! Only 2% of the population are farmers—these are women, men, and families who are the stewards of our lands. Telling their stories allows them to be heard so they can continue the tough, needed, and prideful job of being caretakers of the land, animals, environment, and producers of our food.
Full Circle Farming
At Painterland Farms, we’re proud to practice full circle farming. From planting to harvesting and milling, we focus on quality every step of the way.
We feed our cows a mix of our homegrown feed and sweet grass from open pastures. We use all-natural fertilizers (aka cow poop) to restore fertility to our fields. This is a great example of how the animals give back to Mother Earth.
The result is happy farmers, happy cows, healthy soil, and organic skyr yogurt that tastes good and does good!
sustaining the things we really love
We started Painterland Sisters to sustain our way of life, our family farm and the things we love most about being dairy farmers. Which is why we took destiny into our own hands and created a product that could help protect what matters most—all while sharing it with you - so thank you for supporting our dreams, and thank you to our family who is on our farm every day.
