United Dairy Farmers

A Family Legacy of Innovation Since 1940

United Dairy Farmers (UDF) has been disrupting the convenience retail and ice cream manufacturing landscape for nearly 80 years. What started as a revolutionary idea-cutting milk prices nearly in half-has evolved into a thriving, fourth-generation family-owned company with over 3,200 associates and 177 retail convenience stores across the region. Today, UDF generates $500 million to $1 billion in annual revenue while maintaining the personal craftsmanship and quality commitment that defined its founding.

Pioneering Ice Cream Innovation

UDF made culinary history by creating the world's first Cookies 'N Cream ice cream flavor, blending their signature vanilla with Oreo cookies-an instant classic that remains legendary today. Every ounce of Homemade Brand ice cream is still crafted in Cincinnati using time-tested recipes and quality ingredients. Recent innovations like Rhinegiest Truth IPA-infused Tropical Truth demonstrate UDF's ability to honor tradition while embracing creative evolution.
