ALBERT STRAUS, STRAUS FAMILY CREAMERY
“Large-scale agriculture is a narrow vision driven by money and power, versus the goal to supply people with quality, nourishing food and protect the environment,” says Albert Straus of Straus Family Creamery. The West Marin dairy and creamery, known for setting the industry bar for organic and sustainable practices, was invited to the World Dairy Summit hosted by the International Dairy Federation in Paris last October and was highlighted as an approach to dairy farming that should be replicated globally. “We are halfway to carbon neutral,” he says. “All of the Straus Family Creamery supplying dairy farms are on the path to being carbon neutral by 2030.”
