Manatee County Dairy Farm & Operation

Manatee County Dairy Farm & Operation is a turn-key, income-producing operation currently housing a herd of up to 3,000 lactating cows. The 350.2-acre farm has all of the necessary infrastructure including six free-stall barns, a milking parlor, production areas, commodity storage, silage storage, milk processing plant capable of processing and packaging all milk produced onsite. The cows enjoy comfortable free stalls for the majority of their day, with dry cows and heifers typically housed offsite. Regular management ensures the well-being of the calves and efficient production processes, with a well-designed production area featuring excellent drainage and a surrounding dike system. This impressive facility has the potential to expand its herd size to 4,000 in the future with additional free stall barns accommodating an additional 1,400 lactating cows.

Beyond the top-notch infrastructure, land and the dairy business brand associated with this property holds substantial value. A cherished multi-generation brand, it has earned a reputation through participation in the “Fresh From Florida” marketing campaign and partnerships with major supermarkets and milk distributors. The brand proudly bottles and distributes natural, grass-fed milk and other products, gaining recognition for its nutritional value and exceptional taste. The property offers the unique advantage of allowing owners to bottle and market their own products, including a variety of milk types, cheese, and raw milk.

Situated in the agriculturally rich Manatee County, this property offers an enticing investment opportunity for farming operations. Boasting 4,000 ± feet of paved road frontage on Betts Road, convenient access to FL-70, proximity to Myakka City, and easy reach to the FL-70 and HWY 75 intersection, transportation is effortless. The location strategically aligns with one of Florida’s main highway corridors, facilitating smooth movement for products both north and southbound along the state’s West Coast.
