History
In order to increase the profit for our milk and make it possible to continue dairying at Maple View Farm, an on-farm bottling operation became a serious option. It took over a year of exploring this option before any definitive action was taken. Everyone took their time and hired two consultants to assist. The idea became reality.
On November 11, 1996, Maple View Farm milk was first processed and bottled in a new facility on the farm. Mike Strowd and Roger Nutter are now co-owners of this new company, Maple View Farm Milk Company, LLC. Roger is the plant manager.
Maview cows produce over two million pounds of milk every year. Maple View Farm milk and butter is sold in approximately 50 selected local area stores. Almost all milk produced on the farm is processed and bottled at the plant.
Only milk from Maple View Farm cows is, and will be, bottled here. Milk is available in returnable glass bottles. Plastic pints (recyclable) of a few products are available. Conservation of landfill space is an important issue for Orange County citizens who are very vocal in their concerns regarding the environment.
