Milk - from Cow to You
Milk doesn’t stay on the farm... where milk goes, jobs follow.
It begins with cow comfort. Dairy cows must be healthy and well cared for in order to produce pure, wholesome milk.
Our milking machines deliver milk directly from the cows to a refrigerated holding tank to preserve freshness and safety.
The milk is then quickly transported to processing plants for continued freshness and safety.
Ponderovey Dairy purchases machinery, trucks, fuel, and more from local companies, which generates jobs and income.
Our dairy creates jobs for people who grow and ship feed for our cows, as well as for veterinarians, insurance agents, accountants, bankers, and others.
After milk leaves our farm, it travels by truck to a processor, where people make cheese, ice cream, butter, yogurt, and other dairy products.
Truckers, packaging manufacturers and food marketers complete the cycle by transporting and marketing the dairy products everyone loves. This means jobs in the transportation, distribution and retailer grocer industries.
