In April of 2023, we opened our new on-farm bottling and production facility and began using the new plastic bottles for our half gallons and other new sizes and products. Our new processing equipment can only fill plastic bottles, but they range in size from 8oz to 128oz, and purchasing an exclusive filler for paper half-gallons was cost prohibitive. Additionally, our old paper cartons were a continuous source of leakage, leading to consumer frustration and complaints as well as an excess waste of our milk (which retailers could not sell). We are confident our new packaging is durable, leakproof, and sustainable. Our new bottles are made from PET plastic, which is 100% recyclable and BPA-free.
