Straus Family Creamery has a calling that goes well beyond being a successful manufacturer of organic dairy products. The Marshall, Calif.-based operator wants family dairy farms in northern California’s Marin and Sonoma counties to thrive, and that is a key focus of its operating strategies.
Just as important is Straus Family Creamery’s dedication to sustainability and its strong emphasis on water and energy savings, recycling and landfill waste elimination.
Whole Foods Market launched two on-farm pilots with Windfall Bio’s methane reduction technology (methane is a potent greenhouse gas, up to 86 times more powerful than carbon dioxide) at Whole Foods Market suppliers, Darigold and Straus Family Creamery.
“ The project results were extremely impressive, and we are evaluating further opportunities to deploy this technology throughout our network. ”
Joseph Button, VP of Sustainability and Strategic Impact at Straus Family Creamery
