The foundation sustains a cattle operation that provides vital financial support for its work — a herd of 22 producing cows, milked by hand each morning beginning at five o'clock, yielding an average of four litres per animal. After the milking, the cattle are led out to pasture. The milk finds its way to market through two channels: a steady buyer who comes regularly, and direct sales to the general public, when people make their way out from town to purchase in small quantities — though this latter trade does not happen every day.
