Hart Dairy closes $10M seed round, named first pasteurized U.S. dairy cow operation to earn the Certified Humane designation
Hart Dairy will deploy the capital to further expand its premium and better-for-you dairy product offerings.
Hart Dairy, Augusta, Ga., closed its $10 million seed round to catalyze the long-term growth of the company. The funding round was led by Sydney, Australia-based Alium Capital to enable Hart Dairy’s growth in America and Asia. Hart Dairy will deploy the capital to further expand its premium and better-for-you dairy product offerings, increase production capabilities and continue innovation of forward-thinking animal welfare practices.
“This significant influx of new capital is a clear validation of how we see free-range, grass-fed milk emerging in America,” says Tim Connell, chief executive officer of Hart Dairy. “With consumers’ paradigm shift toward better-for-you products and our recent Certified Humane certification for the farms we care for most, we believe we are on the right trajectory. Having a world-class organization such as Alium Capital in our corner is a huge endorsement for Hart Dairy, as we continue to grow and pioneer the 100% free-range, grass-fed movement for our cherished consumers.”
