Family owned farms

Most of “Our Farmers” are family farms. Momma and Papa Gustafson started with just a few cows that they cared for themselves. Today the farmers producing the milk that will carry the Gustafson label follow their lead. On many of the farms the entire family works together caring for the animals and the land. Because they work with the animals themselves, the cows are treated well; in fact many of the farms raise their calves from birth until they are productive adults in the herd.

The freshest milk you can buy

When you drink Gustafson Milk you can be confident that you are you are drinking the freshest milk you can buy, and in the case of milk, “Fresher is Better!” The farmers who supply Gustafson milk are almost exclusively local farmers so the milk can be in your refrigerator as soon as possible. In fact, much of it can be on your table in less than a day and a half after leaving the farm! That’s as fresh as you can buy. The fresher the milk, the better it tastes and the healthier it is for your family. You can only get that when milk is produced on local farms.

We care about our land and the environment

The farms comply with regulations for the production process and for taking care of their land and the environment. These are set by state and federal governments and are monitored by inspectors who visit the farms regularly. This provides one more assurance to you, the customer, that this is the freshest, safest milk for you and your family.

When you enjoy Gustafson Milk, remember it tastes so good because it is fresh and will always be safe for you because “Our Farmers” care. Gustafson farmers produce your food, they contribute to your communities, and they are your neighbors.
