A lot of people ask us, “how is milk made?”

Three key ingredients make our famous Monument Fresh taste.

Pure, clean milk. Our raw milk achieves a natural bacteria count lower than what other brands achieve after processing.

Speed from cow to cooler. Our processing and distribution plant is a quarter mile from our farm. We can pick up our milk, package it, and get it out to the stores in as little as 1-3 days. Comparatively, larger brands have up to a 4-5 day turnaround.

Cow nutrition & comfort. Optimal nutrition for a dairy cow can be equated to a top athlete. Our cows enjoy a top quality feed program that is nutrient optimized on a regular basis, along with state-of-the-art cow comfort practices. All of this is what ensures our milk has a fresh, consistent flavor. Just another reason our Monument Fresh taste is so famous.

1. Raw milk is delivered to the processing facility.
2. A centrifuge separates the fat (aka: cream) from the milk.
3. A batch tank is filled with skim milk, another is filled with whole milk.
4. The excess cream goes into a third tank.
5. A computer controlled mixing valve uses flow rates at different ratios to blend the skim and whole milk to create 1% and 2%.
6. Whole milk and cream are blended to create half & half.
7. Flavored milk – chocolate and coffee – are sent to a mixing tank where sugar and flavor are added.
8. The milk is then run through a homogenizer to keep the milk from separating and a pasteurizer to kill bacteria.
9. Our Monument Fresh products are then sent to the bottling line to be put in containers.
