Who we are
Cinnamon Ridge Dairy Farm is a family owned, family run farm located in Donahue which is just outside of Davenport on the eastern side of Iowa.
We get our name from the color of the Jersey dairy cattle. The farm sits on a ridge that was formed over 20,000 years ago from the glaciers. In front of the ridge is some of the most fertile soil in the world and behind the ridge, the soil is sandy and rocky.
We milk our Jersey dairy cows using robots. We also have an Angus cow/calf operation, Angus and Jersey beef cattle, pigs, and chickens for eggs. We produce corn, soybeans, and winter wheat that is our cover crop. We have an on-farm store, The Country Cupboard that we sells items produced or made on our farm. We also make cheese from the milk produced on our farm. In addition to farming activities, Cinnamon Ridge opens its farm for tours and meetings.

5th Generation Dairy Farm
John and Joan Maxwell both grew up on farm. John milked cows and grew crops to support the dairy herd. Joan grew up on a dairy beef farm and raised corn and soybeans. Joan also raised food grade crops such as peas, soymilk beans, tofu beans and edamame.
John and Joan have passed their passion for farming to their children and now grandchildren.
