Hardy’s Holsteins lost its historic monument in barn fire


Parker Hardy shares the following update: On December 19th at the stroke of midnight Hardy’s Holsteins lost its historic monument that would be over 200 years old. This included our original hip roof barn, new robotic facility and milk house. The image of my first glance of the barn as I ran out of my house to save the cattle will forever haunt me. All cattle are safe and so is my family and employees. I am currently in Indiana with the cattle. Homestead Dairy has welcomed me with open arms at their new robot facility.
This barn has been apart of my families daily routine for over 50 years now which makes it hard this morning to keep high spirits. Only certain people in this world can understand the pain of loosing something that 6 generations have put their blood, sweat, and tears into building and withstanding.
Right now it is all up in the air what we will be doing from this point forward. It is something we need some time to think about.
Hardy’s Holsteins did not die in that fire yesterday. It’s spirit has a dent in it but still will remain and prevail as strong as ever.
