Question 1

Is Eby Manor milk organic?

Accepted Answer

Eby Manor milk is GMO free.

Question 2

Does Eby Manor milk contain hormones or antibiotics?

Accepted Answer

We do not use hormone additives or treatments to increase growth or milk production. Growth hormones are prohibited in Canada.   Eby Manor milk is free of antibiotics. We only use antibiotics when it is absolutely necessary to treat an infection or serious illness. We follow strict protocols when an animal has been treated and maintain records following the treatment. All milk from treated animals is discarded until the milk is free of any antibiotic residue.

Question 3

What do Eby Manor Guernsey's eat?

Accepted Answer

When the weather is suitable for them, our cows are let outside to graze. They are fed a high forage ration consisting of hay and corn silage (whole corn plant chopped) supplemented with grain corn for energy, as well as a soybean and canola meal for protein. Minerals are added to the ration to create a complete and balanced diet for our Guernsey cows. The focus of our feed design is to produce milk with a high nutrient quality, rather than high volumes of milk.

Question 4

Does Eby Manor use pesticides?

Accepted Answer

After planting, our corn and grain is sprayed with one application of pesticide to kill the weeds. We do not use round up on crops that are going to be consumed.

Question 5

Does Eby Manor sell raw milk and colostrum?

Accepted Answer

Eby Manor only sells pasteurized milk, as required by Canadian dairy standards. We pasteurize our milk at the lowest boiling temperature allowed, to avoid scalding the milk and to maintain as much of its nutrient content and flavour.   To follow Canadian dairy standards, we do not sell colostrum. We need the colostrum as it is an important element for the development of newborn calves.

Question 6

Does Eby Manor sell butter and heavy whipping cream?

Accepted Answer

Not at the moment, we hope to add these items to our range of products as we grow.

Question 7

Does Eby Manor sell eggnog?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, we are in the process of working towards developing our own eggnog. We have not sold our own eggnog before.

Question 8

How soon can we expect new Eby Manor products?

Accepted Answer

Since we do not have our own processing plant, we are unable to make small batches of various products. Instead, we must meet a minimum order for each product we carry. In order to produce products with a high butterfat content, we need to sell enough of our 2% milk, from where we can source the butterfat.
