Neighbors helping neighbors. That is how Prairie Farms began. In 1932, cooperative dairy farms pooled their strength and formed the Illinois Agricultural Association. Just a short time later, in 1938, Producers Creamery of Carlinville was organized which later became Prairie Farms Creamery of Carlinville.

Now over 800 farms strong, Prairie Farms is recognized throughout the Midwest for its array of superior dairy products and exceptional service. From our modest beginning in 1938, Prairie Farms Dairy has always kept a few bedrock principles in mind; quality, reliability, and faithfulness to our customers and consumers. These principles constitute a valuable tradition that is represented in every one of our products.

Prairie Farms manufacturers and markets a full line of dairy food products out of its own 17 plants, along with 13 others through subsidiary companies and joint ventures throughout the Midwest. Prairie Farms’ line includes a wide variety of fluid milk products; juices and drinks; cultured dairy products including dips, sour cream, cottage cheese and yogurt; and the creamy pleasure of Prairie Farms ice cream, including our premium brand, Prairie Farms Old Recipe.

By applying only the latest technology in our production and utilizing the knowledge we’ve gained over decades of service, we succeed in keeping our wholesome products dairy fresh. If you’re savoring a bowl of one of our delectable ice creams with your family, staying healthy with a tall, cold glass of our milk, or enjoying any of our other dairy products, you can count on the fact that Prairie Farms is working hard to produce the very best just for you.
