WHAT MAKES OUR MILK SO SPECIAL?
It starts with a cow and continues with an exceptional level of care throughout each step of our process. We are committed to producing fresh, high-quality milk for you to enjoy day in and out.
THE MILKING PROCESS
With 2,800 Holstein cows to milk, efficiency and quality are everything. Cows thrive on routine, so we guide them to our state-of-the-art milking carousel, where the process begins. Once the milk leaves the cow, it is instantly cooled from 100°F to 37°F in just three seconds to lock in freshness. It’s then stored in 6,000-gallon insulated tanker trucks until full. Each load is tested, sealed, and sent to our creamery, where it's pasteurized, homogenized, and flavored—bringing farm-fresh milk from our cows to your fridge with the highest standards every step of the way.
THE OAKRIDGE DIFFERENCE
We take great effort to ensure our milk is kept fresh, safe and honest. Rest assured there are no antibiotics or added hormones in any of our milk. Every 8 hours the parlor is shut down for a 1 hour cleaning. We believe in a transparent milking process that you can trust. At Oakridge you’ll find exterior glass doors looking into our milking parlor, glass windows on our farm tours, and even glass bottles on the milk you buy because we want you to know your farm and trust your milk.
