Since October 2022, Oberweis Dairy has sourced its milk from cooperatives. This marks a change in their procurement strategy from previous years.
Evolution of Milk Sourcing
Prior to October 2022, Oberweis Dairy traditionally purchased milk directly from family farm patrons. However, a shift occurred in late 2022, moving their supply chain to depend on dairy cooperatives.
This change in sourcing method ensures a consistent supply for Oberweis products, which include milk, ice cream, and other dairy items.
For more information about the company's history, you can refer to the Oberweis Dairy Wikipedia page. The company's ownership also saw changes over the years, with Jim Oberweis purchasing it from his brother in 1986 and naming his son, Joe, CEO in 2007.
To summarize the evolution of their milk sourcing:
| Period | Milk Source |
|---|---|
| Before October 2022 | Directly from family farm patrons |
| Since October 2022 | Cooperatives |
This transition reflects an adaptation in their operational model regarding raw milk acquisition.
