Congratulations to our friends at Souvla (@souvla)! 🎉TODAY is the big day. 🎉 The fast-fine restaurant opens its newest location in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood, less than one mile from the Chase Center.
Inspired by casual souvlaki joints found throughout Greece, you can enjoy their classic menu and a new hot and cold Meze menu available at the bar with an expanded list of Greek wines. And like all SF locations, you can experience their Greek frozen yogurt dessert made with Straus Organic Milk and Cream topped with unique flavor combos!

People are the heart and soul of Straus Family Creamery and make everything we believe in happen. We sincerely appreciate our employees and all of their hard work.
We celebrated this week with a BBQ at our Creamery to express our gratitude. Here is a peek into our summer fun that included Lombardi’s BBQ, volleyball, employee-trivia bingo, plenty of prizes, and more.
Thank you #TeamStraus! You are the best. 😍

We make our butter European style — in small batches in our old-fashioned 1950s butter churn. The sweet, coastal pasture grasses the cows graze are high in beta-carotene, which gives our butter a richer, deeper yellow color than most butters. The grasses also give our butter its unique Straus flavor.
While American butter must contain at least 80 % butterfat and the minimum for European butter is 82 % butterfat, Straus Family Creamery’s butterfat content exceeds both standards with 85% butterfat.
➡️Our 8oz organic butters are back @sprouts exclusively! 🧈Download the #Sproutsapp on your phone to find a $1.00 Off coupon for Straus Organic 8oz. (1/2 lb.) Butters until August 6, 2022.

Meet the Brazil Family. The Brazil Family Farm, also known as Lakeside Dairy, is owned by brothers Will and John Brazil. They joined as a family farm certified organic milk supplier in 2012. They are one of 12 family farms that provide milk to our Creamery.
Will and John run the operation with their sister Connie. The picturesque farm is nestled in rolling hills on 1,200 acres of pastureland near Petaluma, and hosts an organic herd of more than 200 cows. The land has been in dairy farming since the 1800s when the Jewell family bought 5,500 acres, parcel by parcel, with gold and recorded it in old county records, which can be viewed to this day.

Thanks Angelo @davisfoodcoop for choosing Straus Organic Cream-Top Milk in reusable glass as this month’s staff pick!! 😍🥛Head over to @davisfoodcoop to learn more about their store and find our milk near you via our store locator. Tap the link in our bio. Swipe left to see the bonus video of the milk being produced in our Creamery!
From @davisfoodcoop
Today's Plastic Free July Staff Pick is from Angelo, our Graphic Designer. He chose Straus Organic milk. He made the switch over from your typical, plastic-packaged milks when he discovered that there was a glass alternative. Straus Family Creamery follows a Sustainable and Organic Farm Model, is Non-GMO Project Verified, and are local (Petaluma, Ca) to the Co-op!
Each glass bottle has a $2.00 deposit that is refunded when the rinsed bottle is returned to the store. The bottles are then returned to the Creamery, washed, sanitized, and reused an average of five times before re-entering the recycling stream. The bottles are made with up to 30% recycled glass.
The only plastic you will see on this product is the milk cap, which is recyclable in Yolo County. Straus is committed to pursuing packaging improvements that minimize downstream environmental impacts while maintaining strict food safety standards.

Methane digesters and red seaweed are part of the carbon-neutral dairy farming model the Straus Dairy Farm is implementing by 2023.
With #BlueOceanBarns solving the problem of growing red seaweed at scale, the goal is to have the 11 other family-owned, small-scale organic farms that supply milk to Straus Family Creamery be carbon neutral by 2030. Cows are essential to this goal.
To learn more, tap the link in our bio and listen to #LivingonEarth’s radio interview with our founder #AlbertStraus.
( Note, the cow video is bonus and captured during a different season!)

Every day is ice cream day at #StrausFamilyCreamery. We craft every batch with a blend of all-organic cream, milk, sugar, egg yolks, and select organic ingredients. What we put in is just as important as what we leave out – no preservatives, fillers, artificial ingredients, or coloring agents are used. The result is a taste that is the closest thing to hand-churned, homemade ice cream.
Taste for yourself! You can find our 14 Super Premium Organic Ice Cream flavors at a store near you via our store locator (link in our bio). @wholefoods shoppers look for a promo on ice cream pints and quarts today and tomorrow plus a Straus coupon for a limited time!

❇️ Did you know?❇️
The country’s dairy farms have suffered from unpredictable pricing and consolidation. Over a few short decades, the number of U.S. licensed dairy farms has sharply declined from 4.6 million in 1940 to just more than 40,000 in 2018.
Today, there are approximately 30,000 U.S. licensed dairy farms, according to USDA.
Small farms have been especially hard hit, which is why #StrausFamilyCreamery remains committed to advancing its mission to sustain family farms and revitalize rural communities. At Straus, we prioritize our relationships with the 12 independent family farms that provide certified organic milk to our creamery. We work closely with the farmers to balance supply with demand and stabilize prices that better represent the true cost of producing organic milk.
When you enjoy Straus Organic Dairy Products, you support our mission and organic family farming. Thank you! 😍

#SustainableFact: As part of its carbon-neutral dairy farming model goal, the Straus Dairy Farm aims to eliminate fossil fuel emissions by converting all farm equipment to electric. The biodigester currently provides enough renewable electricity to charge Albert Straus' electric car, a full-scale electric feed truck, and other farm vehicles.
In 2017, our Founder/CEO Albert Straus launched the first full-scale electric truck—powered by cow poop. He and his local mechanic spent eight years developing a climate-positive alternative to diesel-fueled trucks: The feed truck’s motor is charged from electrical power generated from methane gas produced by the cows’ manure.
