Rutter’s Dairy manages the quality of its product from start to finish — from the farms providing its milk, to its quality testing, to the trucks it operates.
An old adage says: “If you want something done right, do it yourself.” This saying perfectly encapsulates the operations of Rutter’s Dairy, which produces fluid milk along with some juice and tea products at its York, Pa.-based plant. Not only does the company work with local farmers to ensure the quality of its milk source, but it also controls the product after it leaves its facility by operating its own truck fleet.
In fact, if you are from Pennsylvania, Virginia or Maryland, you probably recognize the bright red of Rutter’s Dairy’s trucks delivering milk to local grocery stores. This is an appropriate transition for a 100-year-old company that got its start as a “milkman” — delivering milk products to the local community.
