Our trip to Smith Brothers Farms included two stops: one was a visit to the Kent, Wash., plant, where the company processes milk. Following this visit, we traveled 20 minutes to Federal Way, Wash., to check out the company’s distribution center, the origin of all Smith Brothers Farms’ home delivery services, which is the pillar of many communities.

While many manufacturers focused solely on processing, Smith Brothers Farms maintained its delivery service and remains strong today, despite competition from Amazon and Costco nearby.

High-protein yogurts make up about 67% of the yogurt market. But formulating high-protein yogurts can be a challenge, explains KJ Burrington.
In the early 1900s, pasteurization revolutionized the U.S. dairy industry, making milk safe for mass consumption and paving the way for a thriving market. Milk remains a staple in our diets and the foundation for a variety of beloved dairy products.
