    WE CARE

    As a leading cheese manufacturer, we have a responsibility to demonstrate good corporate citizenship in everything we do.

    Our Promise is to care deeply about how our ingredients, packaging, products and services are sourced, produced or performed, to take excellent care of our employees, to conduct our business in a sustainable manner, and to ensure the welfare of the cows that supply our milk.

     

    sustainability

    We completed a series or major sustainability projects that included the replacement of water softening systems that utilized chlorides with an R/O system that makes purified water that is now blended with our local water for high purity rendering lower usage of chemicals and less impact on our equipment and our utility infrastructure.
    Simultaneously, we completed a $4.5MM sustainability project that created a reserve that re-uses 100% of the plant waste-water that is eventually used as a natural resource to irrigate agricultural crops.
    We completed an initiative to change all the lighting in the factory to LED. This was completed in January 2022 reducing the amount of electricity used in the factory for lighting.

    We also invested in a plant wide electrical generator system that is used not only as a back up in the event of a power outage, but also as a source of electricity that is sold back to the power company in the form of electricity credits.
    The company installed all new energy efficient HVAC systems throughout the factory with HEPA filtration systems providing both environmental improvements as well as lower energy requirements.

    RESPONSIBLE SOURCING




    We are committed to work with our suppliers to achieve our Promise and we will continue to look for opportunities to strengthen our performance throughout our supply chain. We are committed to reducing the social and environmental impacts of our supply chain by using responsible sourcing practices.
    We care about the land by operating in a sustainable manner is important to our business and to our farmers. It allows our farmers to continue to produce the freshest, highest-quality milk for generations to come.
    All our cheeses are rBST free milk sourced from local farmers that care deeply about the well-being of their animals.

    Our milk comes only from cows not treated with rBST** and has 9 essential nutrients to help you grow healthy and strong. But it’s our famously rich, creamy flavor that sends your taste buds soaring.
    We care about recognizable clean sourced ingredients with natural origins, non-GMO and free-from additives. We care about health and clean transparency. Our core is “better-for-you”.
    Sometimes the simplest things require a lot of work. That’s why we celebrate our farmers so much. For them, producing milk for wholesome, delicious cheeses and creams is a labor of love. And you’ll taste the result of that love in every bite.
