Lone Pine Jerseys was first established in 1993, when Adrian and Vreni Haeni immigrated to Canada and purchased a small farm just outside of a tiny town in Alberta called Didsbury. The young couples initial plan was to take over this Jersey operation, and once they had the money convert to black and white. However, they quickly fell in love with the smaller brown cow. And when asked now wouldn’t go back. Later that year Kurt and Marie-Louisse Haenni, Vreni’s parents moved to Canada and would become both official partners and mentors to the small 70 cow operation. An operation that would consistently expand and upgrade. In October of that same year Michael was welcomed into the family. A family which would later add three more additions in Samuel, Jonas, and Nils. Together this family continues to run one of the bigger pure bred Jersey herds in Canada.
