naturally flavoured milks to follow if Lisa has her way . Even yoghurt production could become a reality as they expand the factory with the aim to one day use all the milk they produce and perhaps even buy from other dairy farmers .

Jeff ’ s girls are eager to make their father ’ s visions happen , whilst introducing their own ideas along the way as they take on their various roles .

Paula is the herd manager . She and husband , Scott who is integral to the farming side of the business , along with their three children , have now moved into the house on the property .

Creative and innovative like her father , it was Paula who designed the logo of Jersey Fresh , originally drawing it with her finger on the condensation of a milk tank .

“ She ’ s a bit high maintenance … and that ’ s coming from her secretary !” laughs Lisa although it ’ s clear she wouldn ’ t have her any other way .

“ Paula lives and breathes cows , anything to do with breeding , milking , veterinary , calf rearing , feeding … she ’ s this hard working little pocket rocket . I sometimes say Paula looks after her cows as well as her children and she ’ s a really , really good mum !

“ We are certainly the sum of our parts . Scott does the cropping , Paula does the cows , I do Jersey Fresh , Mark pitches in too and Amy picks up wherever the slack is and that is incredibly crucial .”

Amy , the eldest daughter , is the one the family describe as a Jill of all trades . She follows in her father ’ s footsteps as advocate for “ Cows Create Careers ”, is a CFS member and helps Paula show cows at the

Royal Adelaide Show each year .

Whether it ’ s balancing the books , milking the cows , or driving the truck , Amy is the one that springs into action when things need to be done . The mother of three , married to Chris , is also the state secretary for Jersey Australia and says she knew she wanted to work on the farm when she was seven years old .

Amy has a sense of humour like her dad , one all seem to share when they get together around the table with a cappuccino from the church outreach , “ Connections Café ”, an example of the many community organisations they support and the only time the girls say $ 1 per litre of milk is ever okay .

Amy smiles widely as she describes their dad ’ s “ master plan ” for the property – an interactive dairy

centre complete with farm door sales , children ’ s play park and milk bar reminiscent of the Cellar Doors so prevalent throughout the Barossa .

“ He wanted a big cow out near the road where you could slide out the bum !” she laughs .

“ You would tour through the centre and learn about the dairy industry and then you just slide right out !”

The girls have a giggle as they envision “ Grumpy ”, the nickname Jeff gave himself , sitting on a stool in the corner of the centre , “ boring the tourists ” with his cow chatter . He ’ d be giving talks about life on the dairy and showing his collection of old milking machines whilst Erica would be serving milk shakes and simple country cooking from “ Ma ’ s Milk Bar ”.

Sure , it maybe a little way off and
