Rooted in Tradition
The Mackinson story began in 1865, when the family first put down roots in Pontiac, Illinois. Through generations of stewardship, the farm has weathered the storms of time, from the challenges posed by World War II to the transformative era of mechanization. A pivotal moment arrived in 1975 with the construction of a dedicated milking facility, signaling a new chapter in the farm's evolution. The farm's expansion accelerated as subsequent generations joined the operation, each contributing their unique skills and perspectives.
