In 1910, when T.B. Mayfield
decided to purchase 45 Jersey cows and begin delivering milk to his
hometown of Athens, TN, he could not have imagined that he was
launching what would become one of the Southeast’s leading
dairy brands. Nor could he have realized how that particular decision
would set a tone for the company which, Mayfield Dairy Farms leaders
say, still guides it to this day.“Back then, Jersey cows were
known to produce the best-tasting milk, so that’s what my
grandfather chose,” says Scottie Mayfield, the current
Mayfield Dairy Farms President and the third generation of the Mayfield
family to be involved in the business.
