Custom Product Formulation
Our experienced in-house research and development team uses a state-of-the-art pilot plant to quickly simulate large scale production and efficiently generate learnings. And we don’t create new formulations based on what we want to make; we do everything based on current food trends and consumer demand. Our experience and dedication has led to fortification, pre and probiotics, various ethnic yogurt styles and uses, innovative flavors and several food attributes such as tartness and texture that keep our partners on-trend.
Private Label
You put your customers’ satisfaction first. Which is why we offer our fresh, award-winning dairy products you can package as your own. With experience providing some of the nation’s largest, most trusted brands with high-quality dairy, Upstate Niagara is more prepared than ever to partner with you and grow your private label sales.
Here at Upstate Niagara, we nourish life. This is our Purpose, and because we are a farmer-owned Cooperative, we carry the values from the farm into every part of our business. Farmers tend to think in generations, and some of our farms have been run by the same families for as many as seven generations. The honor and responsibility of keeping these traditions alive for generations to come are why we put so much care into the quality of our products and service, and our responsiveness to the market. Whether through food, paycheck, community, or support, all of us at Upstate Niagara come together to nourish every life we touch.

Bulk Milk Products
Did you ever wonder what makes some of your favorite dips, dressings, sauces, cheeses and ice creams taste so good? It starts with delicious dairy. In addition to utilizing our milk to manufacture our own dairy products, we also sell our fresh, high-quality raw and pasteurized milk to other businesses in bulk. This milk is used by some of the most recognizable brands in the United States as an ingredient in their own products.
