Our core values of exceptional quality, customer care, and innovation continue to be the foundation of the Farmland brand.
Farmland Fresh Dairies began as a small dairy farm in Fair Lawn, N.J. in 1914. Hand milking a herd of 30 cows, "Max Goldman's Dairy" delivered to local homes in the traditional "horse and wagon" manner... ladling out raw milk from stainless steel cans to the community he served. Driven by quality and service, the business steadily grew for decades. During the early 1940's, the Goldman family chose to focus on the processing and packaging areas of the business as pasteurization techniques provided an option to purchase raw milk from local New Jersey farmers. A processing facility was built on the Fair Lawn property and the Goldman's home served as their first office. The brand "Fair Lawn Dairies" was born during this period. Soon thereafter, a merger with a successful Paterson, N.J. dairy named Farmland occurred and the "go to market" name became "Farmland Fair Lawn Dairies". The business began to grow quickly as the high quality product line became the consumer favorite.
In 1970, Farmland built a "state of the art" facility in Wallington, N.J. and the company's name was shortened to "Farmland Dairies". Historical, industry changing events began to occur. Farmland led the industry in recognizing the consumer's desire for superior quality and demanded a "no hormones added / rBST free" milk supply from its farmers. Other companies followed Farmland's lead. Farmland introduced Skim Plus, the most successful value added milk product in the history of the industry.
More recently, the Farmland brand enjoyed expansion into the Southeast and Midwest markets through ultra pasteurized cream programs. Farmland continued to demonstrate a focus on healthy products as the first processor in NJ to introduce the "New Look of School Milk", a plastic school milk program that stimulated an increase in kids' consumption by over 20% where executed. A national "Leadership in School Milk" award was presented to the company for its efforts.
The care and service that were the cornerstones in 1914 continue to be the driving force today. The fresh, great taste in every Farmland product, based on "no hormones added / rBST free" sourcing and impeccable quality assurance, guide everything we produce for our loyal and growing customer base.
