El-VI Farms LLC EL-VI Farms is a multi-family partnership that milks about 2000 cows and grows feed for the animals o The farm is currently run by five partners.

EL-VI Farms has been a family-owned farm since 1953 at the present location. Prior to that, the name, EL-VI FARMS, was created in 1948 by Elmer and Viola Peck, when the farm was located near Phelps, NY. The company has 24 full-time employees, 18 part-time employees, and 4 students. We have about 1300 milking cows and they milk between 80-88 pounds/day (~35-40 kg). They milk three times a day. The farm has two milking tanks containing 52,000 pounds(23,587 kg) and 48,000 pounds (21,772 kg) respectively. To reduce the noise in the milking parlor the milking machines are installed in the basement below the milking parlor. A milk "chiller" is being installed to instaneously chill the milk to 37 degrees before it enters the tank. The cows are sprinkled with water when it gets hot in the freestall barn. These cows barns also have tunnel ventilation. The cows mattresses are sturdy canvas-like material over either chopped rubber or rubber padding. Split rubber tires are being used as mattresses for the young heifers, as it's a cheap and functional method. The cows have transponders on their left leg which are identified by a computer when the cows come to the parlor. The system has worked fine, without any big problems. Dairy solids(manure with most of the liquid squeezed out) are mixed with lime to reduce bacteria and recycled as bedding in most of the freestalls. Straw is used as bedding in the maternity barn and in the calf housing. The liquid manure byproduct of manure separation is pumped to lagoons to be stored until spread on the fields at the optimum time.

We can't wait to see everyone in two years at DeBoover Family Farms, LLC!

We’ve been keeping a little secret…

And if you were at Fun on the Farm at Lawnhurst Farm today, you may have spotted a special sign that gave it away!

We are excited and honored to announce that DeBoover Family Farms will be hosting Fun on the Farm in 2028!

First, a huge thank you to the Fun on the Farm committee and everyone at Lawnhurst who made today such a wonderful event. What the public sees as a fun day on the farm is the result of countless hours of planning, organizing, coordinating and working behind the scenes- all with the goal of creating a FREE educational experience that gives our community the opportunity to see where their food comes from and learn more about what farmers do every day.

We are so grateful to be selected to carry on this tradition in 2028, and we’re already looking forward to opening our farm and sharing a little piece of our world with all of you.

So, save the date- Fun on the Farm is coming to DeBoover Family Farms in 2028!

We can’t wait to welcome you.
