About Prairie Farms – “Farmer Owned. Locally Produced. Since 1938.”
We are a farmer-owned cooperative. This means we are owned and operated by over 800+ farm families who are critical members of society. They have selflessly taken on the tremendous task of producing nutritious, high-quality milk for a growing population, which requires being on the job 24/7, 365 days a year.
We have represented American agriculture since our founding in 1938. Many of our dairy farms are operated by several generations of family members with roots dating back to the 1800s. On average, each farm milks around 120 cows and everyone pitches in to keep them happy and healthy - which means around-the-clock care!
Our Mission:
- To produce dairy products of the highest quality
- To conduct our business with professional integrity
- To exceed expectations of our customers and consumers
- To support our communities in a positive, sustainable manner
- To deliver exceptional patronage to our network of farm families
- To simply “do right” for our farm families, employees, and communities
