KREIDER FARMS

located in Lancaster County, PA

Kreider Farms has been producing dairy and eggs in Pennsylvania since 1935 and is currently the only family-owned, full-scale dairy and egg farm in the country. Their original 102 acre plot with a dozen cows and 200 chickens has grown to an operation with 3,000 acres spread across lush Lancaster County delivering eggs packed the day they’re produced around the region and ensuring the freshest milk gets delivered each week.

Kreider Farms operates its own local Micro-Mooery where they can keep a very close eye on all aspects of the production line. And if you’d like to see for yourself, they even offer farm tours. The 1,700 head herd is milked three times a day producing 12,000+ gallons of milk a day on a mechanical milking merry-go-round. The entire herd is rBST hormone supplement free.

The Kreider family grows all of its own feed and processes and bottles all of their own milk (no mixing of milk with outside herds). It’s a self-contained system from a single high-quality, local source.

Kreider Farms operates its own production facilities, not buying in from other producers. All of the facilities are in close proximity to their distribution center for efficiency. The egg facilities are equipped with in-line processing with eggs packed the day they are produced for maximum freshness.

In 2009, Kreider Farms was the second egg producer in the United States to achieve SQF certification and the first egg producer east of the Mississippi to achieve SQF certification. Eggs produced by Kreider Farms are on the PEQAP program, a voluntary industry program intended to minimize contamination of chicken eggs.
