California regulators made it official! 🎉 Dairy farms will soon be able to feed cows a red seaweed supplement to help reduce their enteric methane emissions (cow burps) and climate impact.
Thank you #JoanSalwen, #BlueOceanBarns and @cdfa_ca for making this vision possible along with our Founder Albert Straus and Straus Family Creamery’s sustainability team.
This CDFA authorization will help Straus Dairy Farm reach its carbon-neutral dairy farming model goal by 2023. Tap the link in our bio to read Tara Duggan’s article via @sfchronicle.

At Straus Family Creamery, we believe carbon farming is one of agriculture’s answers to making a climate-positive impact. How so?
The regenerative agricultural practice of #carbonfarming on organic dairy farms helps move carbon from the atmosphere and put it back into the soil. Some of the environmental benefits are:
✨Restoring woodlands and streams
✨Building nutrient-rich soil
✨Promoting soil health through rotational grazing
✨Contributing to mitigating climate change

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
We are throwing it back to last year’s video we shared to highlight our ongoing collaboration with @bmwgroup and Straus Organic Dairy Farm. ( Our founder #AlbertStraus’ dairy farm.)
Through California Air Resources Board’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) Program, BMW can “power” their customers’ electric vehicles with ultra-low carbon intensity electric fuel produced from biodigester technology on the Straus dairy farm.
In 2019, this first-of-its-kind collaboration created a new farm-to-electric pathway. One that includes converting the methane from cow’s manure into electricity. In 2021, the Straus dairy farm piloted an advanced biodigester technology.
New biodigester technology is helping make methane biodigesters more affordable for small-scale organic dairy farms, enabling the reduction of methane (a greenhouse gas, which is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide) emissions and creating additional revenue sources for farmers through the sale of carbon credits.
Let every day be #EarthDay!

Collaborating with local farmers is what we do at Straus Family Creamery. We prioritize relationships with our independent supplying family farmers to balance supply with demand and stabilize prices that better represent the true cost of production. This enables the farmers and their agricultural employees to earn a living wage and support their rural communities.

Here is more in-depth coverage about the dramatic effects of red seaweed (Asparagopsis taxiformis) in @culturecheese’s #2022Innovation issue.
@linnikral reports how using #redseaweed in cow feed can eliminate 90% or more of climate-harming belches (enteric methane emissions).
