How is Shatto Milk Company different from other milk companies?

The primary difference between Shatto Milk Company and many of the other dairy companies is that we are also the farmers. We began as farmers, still are farmers, and make our products with milk from our own family farm. We have a small creamery, and, unlike other companies, only process our own products in our plant and do not process any milk outside of our own. The milk we use in our creamery is from cows that are born and raised on our farm.
Most of the forage (silage) is grown on our farm along with many acres of pasture from which the cattle graze. Other dairy companies may only be acting as marketing companies or processing plants (just putting the milk in packages and not actually doing the farming). Often, milk travels across many states before it is processed into its final product.Thus, the shelf life of other bottlers’ products is less than that of Shatto Milk Company’s products, which can be from the cow to your home in as little as 24 hours. At Shatto Milk Company, we are always re-evaluating and improving our environmental practices. We work hard to ensure that our product is the best on the market.
