Delivered These three ingredients form the foundation of a solid, trusting partnership between Crescent Ridge and our loyal customers. Crescent Ridge, our family-owned and operated farm and a Dairy of Distinction*, has been dedicated to delivering the freshest, tastiest products to our customers since 1932 when Malby Parrish started making his rounds in his 1928 Chevrolet milk truck. Like we did so many years ago, Crescent Ridge still produces small batch milk that is pasteurized, homogenized, and bottled in glass right here at the farm to preserve the taste of the milk the way it should be, creamy, rich, and delicious. Learn More It's udderly delicious! Our products have received national and international accolades. National Geographic has twice named Crescent Ridge one of the 10 Best Ice Creams in the World in its "The 10 Best of Everything: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers" and Men's Journal named our Crescent Ridge Dairy Bar among the 27 of the Best Ice Cream Shops in America in 2014. Learn More Dairy's not all we do! Crescent Ridge most recently expanded our farm fresh offerings to include locally raised, grass-fed beef and pork products. Raised on our 44 acres of beautiful pasture, our cows and pigs eat well so you and your family eat well. Crescent Ridge will continue to evolve and satisfy our customers' good taste, while holding steadfast to those three important ideals: Family. Farm. Fresh. At a time when colossal mega-companies are hopping on the milk wagon to offer home delivery, we’re still here, carrying on the tradition of bringing farm fresh, local products directly from Crescent Ridge to your fridge. Learn More GOING STRONG SINCE 1932. Since 1932, Crescent Ridge Dairy has been delivering small batch milk and quality provisions to families throughout Massachusetts. Ever since Malby Parrish made the first rounds in his trusty 1928 Chevrolet milk truck, folks have been looking forward to seeing the Crescent Ridge Milkman come around the corner each week. As Crescent Ridge grew and our delivery routes expanded, we decided that since we were making the trip anyway, why not make customers' lives a little easier by also delivering some weekly staples and grocery items—more than 100 items at last count. Today, Crescent Ridge is a modern dairy. And even though a lot has changed over the years, a lot has stayed the same. We’re still a family owned and operated business, with 3rd and 4th generation Parrish family members running the farm. You’ll still see the Crescent Ridge Milkmen making their rounds, each and every week. And, we’re still here on a farm that dates back to the 1800s, day in and day out, making the best tasting milk and ice cream you can find anywhere. The timeline of our farm 1932 — Crescent Ridge Farm Wind the clock forward to 1932. Malby and Mildred Parrish purchase the 44-acre Crescent Ridge Farm property, clear the land to make room for more dairy cows and crops, rename it Crescent Ridge Dairy, and quickly establish a trusted dairy that delivers fresh products to local residents… and to school children in half-pint glass bottles, ice cold and fresh. With a hearty herd of dairy cows, and a trusty 1928 Chevrolet milk truck, the Parrish family opened Crescent Ridge Dairy and never looked back. We invite you to take a stroll through more than 75 years of hard work and dedication to our company, our community, and our delicious small batch milk and meat products. 1936 — Modernization Crescent Ridge installs a modern pasteurization and bottling plant, building the foundation for a growing enterprise. 1942 — 325 Quarts A Day The Finnergan Farm is purchased to allow for more cows and to raise hay and corn silage for feed.
