Took on full responsibility for the family dairy after his father Vernon and brother Johnny, and relaunched it as Sykes Family Farm in 2020.
Sykes Family Farm
Sykes Family Farm is a family dairy in Mebane, North Carolina, in the Sykes family since the 1950s, supplying raw milk and yogurt through a cow share program.
Sykes Family Farm at Mebane in North Carolina grew out of the old family dairy and now produces fresh raw milk from a herd of Jersey cows, a breed prized for creamy, high butterfat milk.
The family look after their land carefully and keep the milk minimally processed.
Milk is supplied through a cow share scheme rather than over the counter. Members pay an annual fee to buy into the herd, then buy weekly shares of raw milk or yogurt, invoiced monthly and collected at the farm on Oak Grove Church Road.

Most commercial milk contains both A1 and A2 proteins. While A1 protein has been linked to digestive inflammation and, in some studies, a heavier insulin response, A2 milk, which comes from specific breeds like those found on Sykes family farms, is generally considered easier to digest and less inflammatory. This milk is superior to any available in the area. People must avoids the ultra-pasteurized milk found in market refrigerators (which, if we are serious, should rightfully be called Lactose from being sold to uninformed customers, potentially leading to daily inflammation). I recommend the Sykes family farm milk as the best raw milk. My experience making cotton cheese is top notch.
