Where’s Waldo’s robotic dairy farm?

​MINEOLA, WOOD COUNTY - A robot soon will take the honor of the milking process​ at the Waldo Way Dairy Farm—which provides 7,000 customers fresh, hormone-free, grass-fed milk, cream, yogurt, and dairy products.

In  the fall 2016, the dairy will have a new milking process that will allow the farm north of Mineola to milk more cows and produce more of their dairy products using the first robotic dairy farm in Texas.

Waldo’s Way Astrea 20/20 robot is being constructed in Holland.

It will be shipped to the U.S. by sea then trucked to the farm north of Mineola, where AMS-Galaxy will set up the robot.

With a robotic operation, cows can be milked at all hours of the day without a human presence.

Ground has been broken on the 3,000-sf retail facility that will include a Milk Bar, where you can have a seat and order a glass of the liquid gold or their best-selling drinkable yogurt.

Also in the works is a 6,000-sf processing plant for low-temperature pasteurization processing that will allow sales to retail outlets such as Whole Foods and Sprouts.
