When you're at the Florida Capitol, make sure to visit Representative Kaylee Tuck's office for a delightful treat of Sutton Ice Cream. It's a great way to enjoy locally produced, farm-fresh ice cream while engaging with legislative processes.
Sutton Milk, located in Okeechobee, Florida, is a well-established dairy farm known for producing fresh, local milk and handcrafted ice cream. This family-owned operation has roots that date back to the mid-1930s when the Rucks family began their dairy farming journey in South Florida. Today, the farm is operated by Sutton and Kris Rucks, continuing a legacy of dairy farming that spans multiple generations.
The farm is committed to sustainable practices and ensuring the welfare of their cows, which are fed a balanced diet and cared for by a team that includes a veterinarian and a cow nutritionist. This approach has allowed them to increase their milk production significantly over the years. They've also implemented innovations like open-air, metal barns and the first automated calf feeding barn in Florida to enhance their operations and animal welfare.
Sutton Milk offers a variety of dairy products, including a range of unique ice cream flavors made from high-quality ingredients. These products are available directly from their farm in Okeechobee and in local markets and grocery stores throughout South Florida
