PITTSBURGH…A milk dynasty?  Those in America’s “dairyland” surely think so. 

For the third time in four years, Turner Dairy Farms’ 2% milk scored a perfect

“100” and was awarded First Place at the World Dairy Expo’s Championship

Dairy Products Competition.

The competition, sponsored by the Wisconsin Dairy Products Association, is held in conjunction with the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin.  The

competition holds the distinction of being the only comprehensive dairy

judging contest in the nation.  Entries were received from dairies across the US.

“First Place at the World Dairy Expo goes a long way in proving that the highest quality and best tasting products continue to come from local sources,” explains Chuck Turner Jr., third generation president of his family’s dairy processing business. 

Turner Dairy Farms’ trademarked “Higher Standard” of quality starts with a

commitment to excellence by its network of local family dairy farms adds

Turner.  “We have long believed in the importance of utilizing local and

sustainable agriculture as a means for producing the highest quality milk and

dairy products,” he continues. 

Turner’s has an exclusive partnership with 50 local dairy farms to supply them

with raw milk – farms that consistently meet and exceed Turner’s stringent

quality standards.  Several of these local families have been supplying

Turner’s with milk since the 1940s and 50s.

Remaining mindful of current issues enables Turner’s to continually enhance

their “Higher Standard.”  All of Turner’s family farms have signed certificates

that state they do not employ artificial growth hormones on their cows. 

“While the Food and Drug Administration has approved the use, we know

that ultimately our consumers want a choice. As part of our extremely stringent quality standards, we have certified our line of fresh pasteurized milk products as being rBST free, simply stated, free of artificial growth hormones," Turner states.

Furthering its stronghold on the competition Turner’s took Second Place in the Chocolate Milk category, narrowly being edged by a quarter of one point.  Turner’s has previously won the award in 2004. 

Turner’s milk is available in convenience, grocery, and natural food stores

throughout the Pittsburgh area.  Founded in 1930, Turner Dairy Farms is a

family business committed to bringing the highest quality milk and dairy

products from local farms to local families.
