Today, the care, pride and hard work of more than 150 staff and contractors continue to shape the values and commitments we live by; integrity, quality, innovation, teamwork and great customer service.
From the family who started it all, to the families who have helped us build a legacy brand, we’re proud to be part of a community that supports each other and grows together whilst driving regional development across Victoria.
As a family business, we’re committed to building sustainable, secure dairy systems and products that support our region for generations to come. It’s something we’re truly proud of. Our products simply wouldn’t exist without the support of our wider community, and we’re grateful for that partnership built over the last 160 years.
