Farmland Dairies™ was founded in 1914 in Fairlawn, New Jersey. With 10 cows and a wagon, a young farmer and his family sold fresh milk by the ladle, house to house, in Fairlawn. By the 1930's, the family had built their first milk plant. In the 1970's, they built a state-of-the-art facility in Wallington, NJ and attained wider acclaim in 1986 by becoming the first outside dairy granted a license to sell milk in New York City in 70 years. "Big Apple" consumers immediately embraced Farmland and enjoy quality milk at lower prices to this day. With the creation of Special Request™ milk in the 1990's, Farmland gained national recognition for quality, fat-free milk with great taste. Special Request™ was one of the first milk products with a "no added rBST hormone" pledge. It also provided nutritional benefits superior to regular or lower fat milks. Consumers once again recognized Farmland's leadership, making Special Request™ the top selling milk in the NYC metro area. Proud of the traditions of our first 90 years, we continue to build upon the legacies of quality and innovation with new and improved products.

Just five miles from the Pacific Ocean, Edna Valley Vineyard has one of the longest and coolest growing seasons in California. Its location in one of the state's few east/west-oriented valleys allows nighttime coastal fog to move inland, cooling the grapes after a long day in the sunlight, so that they slowly mature while retaining sufficient acidity. The vineyard's unique site consists of layers of clay and volcanic rock over ancient ocean subsoil. We are a partnership between Paragon Vineyard Company, which is owned by the Niven family, and Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines. The Niven's planted Paragon, our estate vineyard, in the early 1970s and the Chalone Wine Group joined with the family to establish a partnership as Edna Valley Vineyard in 1980.Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines purchased the Chalone Wine Group in 2005.
