Following in the footsteps of their dairy farmer grandparents, Max and Arthur Schwartz founded Elmhurst Dairy in 1919 to bottle and deliver milk throughout their Queens neighborhood. Today, the family continues the legacy by supplying milk to over 8,300 independent grocers and 1,400 public schools in New York City. Buying milk from Elmhurst Dairy supports hundreds of jobs for your friends and neighbors and preserves the familyowned farms upstate that supply us daily. Together, we’re reducing the environmental impact of shipping milk from outside the region and reinvesting in the economic future of our city.
