About Hofmolkerei Mäckle
Hofmolkerei Mäckle GmbH & Co. KG is a family business in Blaustein-Markbronn on the Hochsträß that combines farming and dairy production under one roof. Around 140 cows are kept in a free-stall barn with outdoor climate access and grazing; the feed is grown on the farm itself, without genetically modified feed and without preventive medication. The milk is transported by the company's own tanker directly from the farm to the dairy, where it is pasteurised and gently homogenised. From the natural milk, fresh milk is produced in 1-litre gable-top cartons with screw caps made of FSC-certified wood and sugarcane-based plastic, as well as natural and fruit yoghurt and quark (Luggeleskäs). The products are delivered twice a week by a home delivery service with five refrigerated vehicles in the Ulm/Blaustein region and supplied to retailers; direct sales at the farm complement the offering. At the end of 2025, the business will cease operations for reasons of age and economic circumstances.
