Frank Jr. (Sonny) bought the farm in the 70’s. He and Doris had Jeff and Kasha in the early 70’s. They all worked endlessly for over a decade.

Bobolink Dairy Bobolink,LLC Dairy derives its name from the ground-nesting bird that frequents its pastures and meadows. The farm includes nearly 200 acres of pasture, several barns, a farmhouse and an apprentice house. In Spring 2003, we began making cheese from the milk of our twenty mixed-breed, grass-fed cows. This season, we'll be milking between 30-35 cows, and we have a bumper crop of young heifers and bulls of our new breed, the Bobolink Blacks, which are the result of crossing several common "modern" dairy breeds (Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey, etc.) with the ancient Kerry cattle of Ireland. Because of its extensive pastoral resources, as well as its proximity to New York City, Jonathan and Nina White are optimistic that Bobolink will become an important center for promoting grass-based, sustainable, profitable, family-sized dairy farming as an alternative to the industrial, confinement-based farms that typified the dairy industry in the late 20th Century. By working with culinary arts and agricultural institutions in the region, we hope to encourage a new generation of chefs to demand and farmers to produce high-quality cheeses from well-treated cows on ever-fertile land, in both the developed and developing worlds.

It all started in 1955 with Ed’s parents, Anna and Al Trotta. “It was their life's dream,” Ed says “I'm just helping out.” While he may be humble, Ed has helped to make Trotta Foods a destination place for handcrafted pastas and other Italian specialties. His passion for introducing new items like asparagus and fontina ravioli or artichoke pesto has set his business apart over the years. “I get new ideas all the time and I try to act on them,” he says. “Business and life, I feel, is all about evolving, you never want to be the dinosaur.” But Ed wasn’t always in the food business. For a while he left to try his hat at engineering. That didn’t last long. After a few years of engineering he realized how much he missed working with food and went back to the family business. With his wife Christine and daughter Jovienne helping out in sales and sons Luca and Gus helping with the wholesale and technical support, Trotta’s Food continues to be all in the family! In his free time Ed Trotta likes kayaking fishing etc.history and politics, anything with a motor and of course all things Italian!
