Drink Local. Eat Local. Choose 100% REAL Dairy

The Farm to Table Values You're Looking For

The farm-to-table cycle begins on local dairy farms where fresh milk is picked up daily and delivered to our farmer-owned plants. From there, products are packaged and distributed throughout our communities. Prairie Farms has represented American agriculture since 1938. We are a dairy cooperative - meaning we are owned and operated by 600+ farm families. All selflessly take on the tremendous responsibility of feeding America, being on the job 24/7, 365 days a year.

We Love Our Cows

Our farm families love their cows and treat them like part of the family. Ask any of our farmers who eats breakfast first on the farm, and they'll all say "their girls" do.
