NORTH BROOK FARMS INC

Farming > Agriculture

Thirty years ago, Peter and Carolyn Kyle were dairy farmers milking 350 head on their 800-acre farm in central New York. Their veterinarian advised them to make their cows more comfortable, since well-rested cows produce more milk. So the Kyles decided to make the cows’ bedding softer and more enticing by incorporating recycled rubber.

The Kyles and their three sons scouted out local tire recapping shops for discarded tire buffings, packed them into stalls, and covered them with an industrial fabric. The cows readily laid down in their stalls, milk production soared and other farmers took notice. Soon, the Kyles were making “cow mattresses” for neighboring farms. Demand snowballed, and by the mid-1990’s, the Kyles had quit the dairy business to make cow mattresses full-time and incorporated as North Brook Farms.
