About Us

Turner Dairy Farms has been setting a higher standard since 1930 and we take pride in producing the highest quality dairy products available.  We currently have a partnership with 50 local family dairy farms, all located within 70 miles of our processing facility, to supply us with the best “rBGH/rBST free” milk.  The Turner family believes passionately in utilizing and supporting local and sustainable agriculture as a means for producing our fresh, local milk and cream products.   

 

In addition, we have been producing Pittsburgh’s favorite Iced Tea for more than three decades and our variety of 100% juices continue to be popular offerings.     

 

At Turner’s we are dedicated to Setting a Higher Standard everyday!

 

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!
