Founded in 1994, Straus Family Creamery made history as the first certified organic dairy west of the Mississippi River. For Albert Straus, Founder and Executive Chair, the mission has always been clear: sustain family farms and rural communities while providing the highest quality organic dairy products.
Today, nearly 90% of dairies in Marin and Sonoma Counties are certified organic, a testament to the regional transformation Straus helped lead. By focusing on minimally processed organic dairy and prioritizing education and advocacy, Straus Family Creamery works to revitalize rural communities and strengthen the future of family farming.
Albert Straus emphasizes the importance of community collaboration to build a resilient food system—one that ensures family farms thrive for generations to come. His story is a reminder that organic dairy is not just about milk, but about sustaining people, places, and traditions.
