About Hiland Dairy – “Farmer Owned. Locally Produced. Since 1938.”
Hiland Dairy was founded in 1938 in Springfield, Missouri, by two men and fifty cows. From its modest beginnings, it grew steadily into a major farmer-owned dairy company serving much of the Midwest and South. By the mid-1940s, Hiland had added its first production plant and distribution center, expanding beyond milk into products like ice cream and butter. In 1955, the company joined the Quality Chekd organization, reinforcing its dedication to top processing standards.
Through the late 20th century, Hiland expanded by acquiring regional dairies across Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, increasing its reach and product diversity. Today, its offerings include milk, ice cream, yogurt, sour cream, dips, cheese, juice, and iced tea.
Still farmer-owned, Hiland emphasizes freshness by sourcing milk from nearby farms. The company also invests in sustainability initiatives and community engagement, remaining rooted in its founding values of quality, integrity, and local commitment.
Our Mission:
Hiland will continually strive to provide high quality products that our customers desire at a competitive price. This goal will be accomplished by the following: • Being better than we have to be — setting high standards in performance and quality control and meeting or exceeding those marks. • Doing what is right — treating our greatest asset, our people, with dignity and respect. Attracting and retaining high quality people by providing competitive compensation and continually training and upgrading the skills of our people. • Provide a reasonable return to our owners — by keeping pace with the market in all areas of our business.
