Meet The Moo Crew

Don has been with Hickory Hill Dairy since June 1991 and can honestly says he’s done it all from tending to the herd, maintenance, planting crops, building construction … you name it. As for now we use is talents in the farm equipment department and “Mr. Mom” as our primary calf barn care giver.

Hoover is another one of our veteran workers (since September 1992). He is a legend in our neck of the woods for milking cows … can you say LEGENDairy? Hoover has been milking cows for over 50 years and lends his skills in our very own milk parlor for many of those years.

Jamie has been a part of the Moo Crew since 2009. She has grown to become our Marketing Director and AgriTourism Specialist. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of South Carolina and has over 27 years of graphic design and marketing know-how under her belt. Jamie is an asset to our crew and is always willing to incorporate new things to help educate our visitors.

Joel has been a member of our milk plant crew since June 2014 and is also a huge asset at the dairy. He grew up on a dairy and enjoys sharing his expertise with our farming family. Joel sets the stage every morning to make sure the bottling process starts off on the right foot. He is also responsible for making our jugs shelf-worthy by guaranteeing each label is perfectly situated. Joel is also a former president of the South Carolina Jersey Association.

Jorge has been with us since March 2017. He quickly learned the ropes and earned the title, Milk Plant Manager, overseeing every aspect in our daily bottling operations. He ensures the process flows smoothly while keeping a keen eye on the filling system. And when it's the growing season, Jorge also enjoys keeping the grounds cut to golf course perfection.

Brandon joined our Moo Crew in October 2019 as our Milk Truck Delivery Driver. In Fall of 2023 he swapped the steering wheel for a farm job as our newly named Milk Plant's Director of Operations. With years of experience under the hood, time behind the wheel, and now in the milk plant he's become quite an asset to our daily dairy business.

Megan joined the office Moo Crew in 2021. With her background in Quickbooks and her attention detail she was an asset behind the computer but we quickly realized her skills beyond the desk. While she is a great backup for the office she excels as part of our barn crew and in the milk plant. It's nice to have someone so versatile!

Lauren is our newest farm hand, joining the family in Fall 2023. She was raised in upstate New York on her family's beef and Standardbred breeding farm where she showed cattle in 4H (Charolais, Jersey and Holsteins). Lauren also has an extensive background in equine nutrition and stable management, and a hoof fetish; she's got a side gig as a farrier.  All that combined with her amazing work ethic and quirky personality ... she's a keeper!
