Straus Family Creamery
The Straus Family Creamery is a family-owned, certified organic dairy farm located in Marshall, California. It was founded in 1994 by Albert Straus, who aimed to create a sustainable farming model that respects both the land and the animals.
History
The Straus Family Creamery was the first certified organic dairy farm west of the Mississippi River. Albert Straus, the founder, converted his family's conventional dairy farm into an organic one, with the goal of creating a sustainable farming model that would respect both the land and the animals. The creamery has since grown to become a leading producer of organic dairy products in the United States.
Products
The Straus Family Creamery produces a wide range of organic dairy products, including milk, cream, butter, yogurt, and ice cream. All of their products are made from the milk of their own herd of cows, which are raised on organic pastures and fed organic feed. The creamery is committed to maintaining the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental sustainability in all of their operations.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a core value of the Straus Family Creamery. The creamery uses renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, to run their operations. They also implement sustainable farming practices, such as rotational grazing and composting, to maintain the health of their land and animals. In addition, the creamery is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and has implemented a number of initiatives to achieve this goal.
Community Involvement
The Straus Family Creamery is deeply involved in their local community. They regularly donate their products to local food banks and other charitable organizations. They also offer educational tours of their farm and creamery, to educate the public about organic farming and sustainable agriculture.
