About Our Name

Our name originates from the colonial land grant for the area along with the original owner of the land, John Broom. The ‘Bloom’ refers to crops flourishing and providing for the tenants, hence the name, “Broom’s Bloom Dairy."

Our History

Broom’s Bloom is an interesting mix of ancestral history and new beginnings. The farm and house dates back to the early 1700's and is supporting its 9th generation of the Dallam family. The farm is named after the colonial land grant for the area. In 1997, David and Kate Dallam started milking 65 cows on the farm and even more recently they started making and selling old fashioned ice cream, farmstead cheese and pork sausage. Our animals are fed a natural diet of grains and forages and we do not use artificial growth hormones.
