Triple H Dairy
Triple H Dairy, located in Center, KY, was started in the 1950s by Garnett Huffman.
For 22 years, he milked cows straight into milk cans. After a tornado destroyed the barn in 1972, Garnett and his son Harry Hugh Huffman (hence Triple H) built a new milking parlor that is still used today. Over the last 47 years, improvements have been made around the original dairy to improve cow comfort.
When Harry passed away in 2016, Chris and his wife, Amber, took over the dairy operation to keep the family tradition alive. Chris’ sister Lesley also helps run the farm. With the help of their kids, the family is able to operate the dairy and manage more than 800 acres of pasture, hay, straw, soybeans, and beef cattle.
Triple H Dairy has been producing milk since the 1950s, but most importantly, they have been making family memories on the dairy farm that will last a lifetime.
