Founded in 1994, Straus Family Creamery is a mission-driven, family-owned-and-operated business dedicated to making premium organic dairy products, with minimal processing. We are the first 100 % organic creamery in the United States. In 2019, the Marshall Creamery was the first in the world to receive TRUE® Zero Waste Certification. We left our Marshall home of 27 years in 2021 and moved to a state-of-the-art, eco-conscious, and efficient Creamery in Rohnert Park.
Our new Creamery was designed to help us become more efficient as a manufacturer while allowing more advanced sustainable practices. Potential enhancements include new technologies related to water capture and reuse, heat recapture, and more eco-friendly processes for cleaning the plant. Our goal is to achieve zero-waste production in the future.
Outside the Creamery is a 5,000 square foot drought-resilient landscape with more than 200 trees, flowering plants, shrubs, hedges, and grasses that conserve water, create pollinator habitats and foster ecological resilience. This landscape was built in coordination with the Conservation Corp North Bay.
