The Turner Family
Charles G. Turner founded Turner Dairy Farms in 1930
at the height of the Great Depression.
Charles traveled with 2 cows to farmland in
the Pittsburgh suburb of Penn Hills, about 10 miles
east of the city.
Its there he met Grace Frye and the two
worked out an agreement so Charles would rent
Grace’s farmland for the dairy for the cost of the
taxes on the land.
Grace went on to become Charles first
employee.
Charles was a true visionary and quickly
became known for his high quality milk.
As Charles’ dairy business grew so did his
need for high quality milk.
Charles developed a relationship with a
number of local family dairy farms to supply
Turner’s with raw milk that Charles would process,
bottle, and deliver.
Fast forward several decades as Charles’ sons Jim,
Walt, and Chuck joined the family dairy in different
capacities.
Jim, a graduate of Penn State in Dairy
Science, joined
Charles in the
1950s and helped to incorporate the business in
1953.
After graduation Chuck (Penn State) and Walt
(Michigan State) joined the family business in 1965
and 1967 respectively.
Both Chuck and Walt continue to work for the
company today.
Now in its third generation of ownership Turner’s
continues to produce the highest quality, award
winning milk and dairy products.
We are proud to continue our longstanding
relationships with a number of local family dairy
farms, some of which have been supplying us with
milk since the 1940s and 50s!
We believe passionately in supporting local
and sustainable agriculture and will continue
bringing the highest quality milk and dairy products
from local farms to local families!
Please join us in supporting local
agriculture and help preserve the history and
character of our communities as well staying
connected to the food you eat.
Charles started the company on three simple
principles: Perfect Products, Perfect Service, Treat People Right!
We work hard everyday to see these
principles in all we do.
We know Charles would be proud!
