For our customers who prefer glass over plastic, we want you to know that we do too! At Straus Family Creamery, we are actively pursuing alternatives that will eliminate petroleum-based packaging across the Straus portfolio of products. In the meantime, we have been actively reducing our dependence on plastic and maximizing the ease of recyclability of the plastic we do use.
In 2019, we achieved an average 15% reduction in plastic use across our European Style and Greek yogurts and sour cream, eliminating the usage of 45,000 pounds of plastic annually. Also helping reduce plastic usage, we sell the majority of our yogurt in quart size containers, with no single serve offerings. Our yogurt cups are made of recyclable* #5 plastic and the lids are made of #4 plastic. (*Materials accepted for recycling vary by region and service provider.)
Earlier this year we upgraded the cap on our gallon milks so that both cap and jug are made from #2HDPE. This material has the highest recyclability rate of any plastic in the United States, allowing many more counties to recycle it.

“For someone who makes their own ice cream flavors, the Straus Organic Ice Cream Base allows me to create a wide variety of flavors. Two Dog Night’s flavors come out beautifully at our shop.”

We think they taste delicious too @twodognightcreamery!

Our friends at Equator Coffees (@equatorcoffees) based in Marin County, use Straus Organic Barista® Milk for all their milk-based coffee drinks. And soon those signature beverages can be enjoyed in a stunning new location. In mid-September, Equator Coffees will be re-opening the historic Round House Café at the Golden Gate Bridge. Long a coveted destination for tourists and locals, the art deco landmark is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation area and offers nearly 360-degree views of the city, the coast and the world’s most famous bridge.
Since opening their first National Park space at Fort Mason (the Equator Fort Mason Café) Equator’s relationship with the National Park Service and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy has resulted in other locations at the Presidio, the newly remodeled Warming Hut at Crissy Field and in the near future, Alcatraz Island.
Equator Coffees has been in business since 1995 (only a year after Straus began operations), driven by the belief that coffee can be roasted better, brewed better and sourced in a way that makes lives better. We’re proud to share Equator’s commitment to quality, sustainability and social responsibility.
Head over to @equatorcoffees for updates!

Our packaging choices align with our steadfast commitment to reduce our environmental footprint. The iconic Straus milk bottles are more than a stylish throwback. Not only do they keep our milk as fresh as possible, the reusable bottles have been a significant part of our commitment to sustainability since day one in 1994.
When you return your rinsed bottle to the store for a refund of the $2 deposit, that bottle will be returned to the creamery, washed, sanitized, and reused an average of five times before it enters the recycling stream. Your purchase of milk in two-way glass helps keep approximately 500,000 pounds of milk containers and plastic out of the landfill each year.

**Straus Employee Spotlight**
Meet Jose Bañuelos, one of our amazing Class A Drivers, who has been with Straus Family Creamery since 1997—that is 24 of our 27 years in business! Jose is extremely dedicated and a hard-working member of Team Straus. He started on our milk production line in our Marshall Creamery in 1997 and has transitioned into various roles before his current position. He is a conscientious team member and an integral part of the team.
Jose’s loyalty extends to all things Straus as well! He is the star goalie of our Straus indoor soccer team and has pitched and played first base on our softball team. The Bañuelos family is always ready to represent Straus at Butter & Eggs Day Parade, Pt. Reyes Western Days, and other Straus events. We have seen him get married, raise his children, and, in recent years, welcome his grandbabies into the Straus Moo-sery! We also have had members of his family work for us over the years and contribute to our success.
Thank you, Jose and the entire Bañuelos familia for being part of Team Straus and for everything you have done for us!

Today, we are spotlighting Khom Loi’s sweet end of the menu. The restaurant (@khom_loi_sonoma) is located in Sebastopol. Rooted in Sonoma County, it has its heart firmly in Thailand.
The flavors of Thailand inspire their mouthwatering sundae. Chef Moishe uses Straus Organic Plain Soft Serve Ice Cream as his blank canvas and develops rotating seasonal flavors to capture the depth and vibrancy of Thai desserts. A mix of sweet and salty ingredients with diverse textures are used to create this star-studded Mango and Coconut Sundae with caramelized banana, sweetened condensed milk, black tapioca pearls, and coconut peanut crumble.
“It’s been interesting and really successful experimenting with an unflavored base,” said Chef Moishe. “The Straus base tastes amazing.”
He picked #StrausFamilyCreamery because of the high quality organic milk from family farms, and our mission aligns with the restaurant’s values.
It’s #NationalSoftServeDay. 🍦What are you waiting for?
We know tomorrow is #NationalSoftServeDay, but we could not wait until then. We want to share a few of our customers whose rich and creamy desserts start with Straus premium organic soft serve.
🍦 Theory Coffee Roasters (@theorycoffeeroasters) is known for award-winning coffee that is freshly roasted in Redding. Now you can taste their flagship Tres Fuertes Espresso Blend mixed with our unflavored plain soft serve, or if vanilla latte is your preference, then a mix of the Tres Fuertes coffee with our vanilla soft serve is the perfect combo. Other new coffee and tea flavors are in the queue.
🍦 Scroll through to *virtually* travel to the Venice Boardwalk to visit The Win-Dow (@thewindow.la) for their Salted Caramel soft serve. Try cones, dipped or shakes. There are plenty of flavors to choose from: Vanilla Bean, Peanut Buddy, Mint Cookies & Cream, and more!
🍦 A waffle cone or cup is a must at the Little Flower (@little_flower_cafe), a Pasadena café that will serve you all the Straus soft serve you could ever dream of!
🍦 For the halfway point between Los Angeles and San Francisco, visit Annesso Pizzeria (@annessopizzeria) in Fresno. Rumor has it that Straus will soon be on the menu.
Check back tomorrow on the actual day for a #NorCal highlight. In the meantime, share your finds in stories!
Are you curious to know what the Straus difference is?
Beyond being synonymous with premium organic dairy and a commitment to sustainable organic farming practices and family farms, it’s also about:
✨ Collaborating with farmers and supporting rural communities.
✨ Pasture-based cow herds and always being certified organic and non-GMO.
✨ Minimally processing our dairy products as little as possible for the best taste and culinary performance. No preservatives, fillers, artificial ingredients, or coloring agents, ever.
✨ Continually seeking new ways to reduce our impact on the planet.

Straus Organic Coffee Ice Cream is made with a dash of organic Dutch cocoa blended into organic decaffeinated ground coffee beans. The blend gives this ice cream its luscious, rich taste reminiscent of homemade, hand-churned ice cream. We may be biased, but it’s definitely a coffee lover’s delight!
