Our story
A small family farm with a big love for dairy
Three generations of Reeds. Seventy years of doing it the old-fashioned way.

From a single milk truck to a beloved Idaho institution
In 1955, Larry Reed founded Reed's Dairy in Idaho Falls — loading glass bottles of fresh milk into the back of his truck and knocking on doors. Folks came back for the taste — sweet, clean, and unmistakably fresh.
Today the dairy is run by Mike Reed, Alan Reed, Refugio Cervantes, and third-generation Sam Reed — still milking on the same Idaho soil, still bottling in glass, still churning every flavor by hand.

The third generation
The Reeds, the Cervantes, and the cows
Mike and Alan Reed grew up on this farm. Refugio Cervantes has been part of the team for decades. Sam Reed represents the third generation carrying the family tradition forward — same farm, same herd, same commitment to quality.
