Ozark Mountain Creamery

Now Available: Ozark Mountain Creamery Milk!

As a family owned and operated business, we encourage our customers to support local and small businesses. This is why we have partnered with Ozark Mountain Creamery to provide the best quality dairy products for our customers!

We are proud to announce that DiGregorio’s will now carry natural and fresh Whole Milk, 2% Milk, and Chocolate Milk locally sourced from Ozark Mountain Creamery in Mountain Grove, Missouri.

Much like us, Ozark Mountain Creamery started as a small family business that wanted to provide the best quality products available. The small dairy farm was established by Phillip and Dora Fry in 1957, and is still managed by their children and grandkids, today.

Ozark Mountain Creamery prides themselves on producing natural milk without any added antibiotics or hormones.

Why should our customers care about this? The hormone rbGH/rbST has been used for over twenty years on American dairy farms to increase the amount of milk produced by cows. The hormone can have negative health effects on the cows, so American farmers have also implemented antibiotics into the diet to prevent or decrease the risk that this health problems will have on the cow’s production of dairy.

Not only do these supplements have negative effects on the animals, these hormones and antibiotics can be found in the milk, cheese, and other dairy products that these farms are producing. According to the Center for Food Safety, this trail of additives can cause allergic reactions and contribute to the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria in consumers. Additionally, rbGH/rbST has been studied and linked to the growth of different types of cancers. Because of these health concerns, Ozark Mountain Creamery feeds their animals with homegrown, GMO-free and pesticide free feed to ensure the best possible quality of milk from their cows.

Another benefit of Ozark Mountain Creamery’s milk, is that it is pasteurized using a slow, low-temperature VAT pasteurization process. This process not only preserves the natural flavor of the milk, but it also preserves more natural nutrients and enzymes that aid with digestion. These natural enzymes which are usually removed from overly pasteurized milk products from other companies, sometimes allows lactose-sensitive people to drink this milk without any problems!

DiGregorio’s cannot be happier to partner with Ozark Mountain Creamery to provide the healthiest and safest milk possible for our customers and their families.

From one family business to another, support local. Support small business.
