WTFCF S4, E3 Sneak Peek: Robot Dairy

The machines do all the work at Hickory Hill Milk in South Carolina, where the pampered cows get on-demand service. They make a premium cream line of milk you still have to shake. It is so good it is used to make the world-famous Clemson blue cheese.

The Dorn Family are multi-generational dairy people in South Carolina. They were once part of the conventional dairy system, selling their milk to a co-op like most farmers. But they made the bold decision to try to do something better. They did, it worked —and the results are marvelous.

In the next episode, we will follow Hickory Hill’s milk as it travels from the creamery in Edgefield, South Carolina up to Clemson University where it is turned into famous Clemson blue cheese!
