Our Story

Since 1945, Alta Dena® Dairy has been nourishing families in Southern California with wholesome and delicious dairy products. We started as a small, family dairy, but we’ve grown quite a bit throughout the years. Today, we’re a farmer-owned brand of Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), a cooperative of farmer-owners committed to holding themselves to the highest standards: yours.
