MALENY DAIRIES

www.malenydairies.com

Maleny Dairies is a family owned business situated in the picturesque hills of Maleny. We have been farming on this property for 3 generations, (since 1948). With the advent of milk industry deregulation, and the resultant drastic drop in income, (cut by half), we considered giving up farming. However, we decided to fight back by building a milk processing plant - not only to help ourselves, but the other farmers and their families in the local area.

With the combined efforts of parents Harold & Dorothy, brothers Ross and Keith, and sisters Kay and Beth, we embarked on the massive task of bringing our plans to fruition. Thus Maleny Dairies began operations in December 2002, and the immediate positive response by customers to our products was amazing.
