2017 March Board Book

New ESL Milk Items from Rockview Farms Rockview Farms’ new Ninth Avenue Foods processing facility located in Southern California is now processing Lactose Free Extended Shelf Life (ESL) Milk. This milk has 85 days shelf life from date of manufacture and already has inquiries from some of our international clients in Asia. They also process ESL Chocolate Milk for both domestic and international markets and recently added the RCM Seal to their Butter.

Organic Valley Milk Dean Foods has formed a joint venture with CROPP, the organic farmer owned cooperative and owner of the Organic Valley brand. The partnership is designed to bring more processing and strength to the Dean family of brands while making distribution easier and more cost effective for Organic Valley. With Organic Milk flowing again, Organic Valley has added the Real California Milk Seal to their gallons of regular shelf life milk and are also looking at options to use 100% California Milk for their half gallon extended shelf life (ESL) product line not processed by Dean. Processing and shipping of Organic Valley items is expected to begin in mid-late 2017.
