Local New York Milk From New York City’s Only Dairy Elmhurst Dairy has been an important part of the local economy since 1919. We are a family-owned company employing over 240 people at our plant in Jamaica, Queens. Every day, we transport fresh, local milk from upstate New York family dairy farms to the plant for bottling. Elmhurst Dairy was founded in Queens and has operated within the borough since its inception in 1919. Two brothers, Max and Arthur Schwartz, were the children of Eastern European immigrants that came from a long line of dairy farmers. They grew up on a 40 acre dairy farm founded at the turn of the century in the Middle Village area of Queens. Their father started the farm by purchasing 7 cows from the west side of Manhattan, which he walked back to Queens by crossing the newly constructed Williamsburg Bridge.By the 1920s, the farm had grown to over one hundred cows, and the brothers began their dairy business by hand-filling bottles of cream in their barn. Products were delivered to neighborhoods in Brooklyn in a single delivery truck filled with blocks of ice to keep the product cool.Building on these read more
