Cindale Farms

Meghan and Brad Austin manage Cindale Farms in Marianna, Florida. They are the second generation of farmers to care for the 467-acre farm in the Panhandle. The dairy milks around 300 cows twice a day, and their herd is mainly comprised of Jersey and Jersey-Holstein crosses.

Cindale Farms was founded in 1994 by Meghan’s parents Dale and Cindy Eade, who now manage the family’s ice cream business, Southern Craft Creamery. Located in downtown Marianna and started in 2013, Southern Craft Creamery sells wholesale ice cream and is steadily growing its client base.

“We want consumers to know that we invest countless hours each and every day to provide high quality milk and milk products to them in the most sustainable manner possible. We love our land, cattle and what we do,” Meghan says. As active members in their community and Florida’s dairy industry, the Austin’s have won numerous awards including being named Southeast Milk, Inc.’s Outstanding Young Dairy Leaders of 2015.
