In 1971, our parents were a young couple and received the news of a lifetime. Unlike the joy brought by babies and weddings, their happy news came in the form of a visa to the United States. Within one month they arrived – one young couple with three small children and a fourth on the way, with one suitcase each in hand and a great deal of faith. By 1973, our Father was busy working hard to provide for his family. By happenstance, he saw the opportunity to create a product that he was closely acquainted with, but was not yet available in the Los Angeles marketplace – high quality fresh cheese, also known as, queso fresco. After several late night kitchen table discussions, our parents decided to take a gigantic leap of faith with their hard-earned savings of $1,500 and began the journey of a lifetime. In 1973, they founded our company and named it Cacique. In Latin America, the name represents the chief of a tribe, the ultimate authority, the very best, and the pinnacle of experience. During those early years, Dad taught Mom how to make cheese and he sold and delivered the fruits of their labor with us pitching in after school and in summer. Our first year was hard but well worth it and soon we hired our first employees and the dream began to take root.

With small beginnings and great expectations, we at Stremicks Heritage Foods have come a long way in order to establish a reputation based on our expertise and commitment to quality.The early stages of development were begun in 1988 when our President and CEO, Lou Stremick, purchased Carnation dairy in Los Angeles and changed the name to Main St. In 1990, Lou and a group of investors purchased Adohr Farms and merged both Main St. and Adohr together. Adohr Farms was founded in 1916 by Merritt and Rhoda (backwards, that's Adohr) Adamson, and became the worlds largest milk producer. After a rich history including Spanish land grants, a battle to overcome the Great Depression, and more than two decades of ownership by Southland Corporation, Adohr Farms was ready for a new vision and new direction. As our focus changed to meet the increasing demand for organic and 'good for you' products, so did our name. Newly named Stremicks Heritage Foods, we took our already exceptional line of products to new heights with our Organic Milk and will continue to bring you more ‘good for you' products.The knowledge and expertise of the people who brought Stremicks Heritage Foods to where it is today dates back long before the company was established. We've assembled a team with exceptional experience. In fact, our staff boasts an average tenure of more than 25 years and we recognize all of the hard work each individual provides in order for this company to continue to prosper. We are building our history together.
