066 ON A MILD SUMMER EVENING IN ZIONSVILLE, IN, more than 100 diners are soaking up the last rays of sun on a votive-lit deck at Traders Point Creamery while an acoustic trio plays old-time country music on banjo, guitar and fiddle. The crowd has gathered for the weekly $20 family-style farm dinner, an outgrowth of the year-round farmers market, featuring area growers and hosted by farm owners Jane and Fritz Kunz. Around dusk, the group is treated to the sight of some 225 Brown Swiss cows exiting the milking parlor and strolling, single file, down the hillside. The sight of these mooing models is a picturesque reminder of the source of Trader Point’s artisanal cheeses and ice cream. Although more than 80% of all commercial dairy cows are Holsteins, Jane wanted to pasture raise Brown Swiss cows because they are a heritage breed, raised by past farmers before the drastic reduction of breed variety caused by the rise of industrial agriculture. “Brown Swiss cows are generally better adapted to withstand disease and survive the harsh winters we have in the pasture,” Jane says. This is in contrast to those used in industrial agriculture, which are bred to produce lots of milk, gain weight quickly or yield particular types of meat within confined conditions. The Kunzes are examples of those who are taking the farm-to-table movement to the next level, creating more direct and personal relationships with the land. Many chefs are now participating in the farming process, while others are even setting their tables directly in the field, creating a visual bridge between what’s on the plate and where it came from. GO MAGAZINE OCTOBER <strong>2009</strong> “From the beginning we felt that the farm should be the place where the food is eaten as well as created and produced,” says Jane, who inherited the original 150-acre dairy farm from her grandmother in 1999. Certified organic since 2003 (the first in Indiana), Traders Point has grown to 500 acres, a large enough operation to deliver its award-winning drinkable yogurt to Whole Foods stores across the US. At Traders Point Creamery, what started as a Saturday morning breakfast served in the barn during winter has grown into a full-fledged restaurant operation, with lunch, dinner and brunch served at the farm’s Loft restaurant, and sandwiches and desserts offered daily at the casual Dairy Bar. Both feature an all-local menu along with the creamery’s cheese and milk products. “We’re promoting what it’s like to live off the land,” Fritz says. “The cows eat this beautiful grass, and from that grass we make beautiful products. It’s a miracle of nature, and we can showcase that miracle.” There are many benefits to making the direct connection between what sustains us and where it comes Thomas Open Space in Lafayette, CO, site of a Meadow Lark Farm dinner
