Willow-Bee Dairy
Willow-Bee Farm started in 1961 when Everett & Fay Willoughby married. Everett started milking about 10 cows by hand and selling milk in cans. Everett & Fay had 3 daughters: Linda, Brenda , and Patricia. They raised their family on the farm, went to many dairy shows, and continued to milk. During the 100 anniversary of the Kentucky State Fair, Everett and Fay were honored for showing for more than 50 years. Last year, 2019 made 60 years at the Kentucky State Fair for the farm without missing a year. In 2011, Brenda married Curtis Strange. He and his son, Lee became a big part of the family. Curtis and Everett continue to milk about 45-50 cows in their parlor.
