Sweet Victory

The Guernsey Whole Chocolate Milk is available in half-gallon Pure-Pak® Curve cartons, as well as quart-gallon (946 ml) and half-pint Pure-Pak® cartons.

Sweet Victory for Guernsey Farm Dairy’s Chocolate Milk. Guernsey Farms Dairy’s Chocolate Milk has recently been voted the World’s Best Whole Chocolate Milk at the World Dairy Expo for 2013.

The Michigan-based dairy, which has been family run since 1940, won the ‘sweet distinction’ for its much loved chocolate milk by beating 820 competing companies from 28 countries, 43 U.S. states and six Canadian provinces.

"We are very proud to receive this honour, we got a perfect 100 score for the Whole Chocolate Milk, as well as high scores for some other products," said family member Marty McGuire about the company’s first international award. “For us the award proves that the decision a long time ago to change the recipe and switch to a chocolate powder tried by our mother, was the right one. Our overall success at the World Dairy Expo is recognition that our practice of producing the freshest dairy products - with only the best milk from small, family owned farms - is a winning formula.”

The Guernsey Whole Chocolate Milk is available in half-gallon Pure-Pak® Curve cartons, as well as quart-gallon (946 ml) and half-pint Pure-Pak® cartons.

Tradition of Simplicity – About Guernsey Farms Dairy
Run by the McGuire family for more than 70 years, Guernsey Farms Dairy has become a Michigan landmark. The dairy is known for crafting quality dairy products with local, hormone-free milk including whole milk with vitamin D, 2% reduced fat milk, ½% low fat milk, skim fat-free milk, probiotic milk, buttermilk, half and half, heavy whipping cream and seasonal egg nog – with all of these products packaged in Pure-Pak® cartons.

Guernsey and Elopak Inc. started their partnership back in 2007. Since then, both companies who are located in the same neighbourhood less than 10 miles away, have undergone a continuous partnership program to enhance the consumer experience of Guernsey products. “The launch of probiotic milks (2% and fat free) was the trigger to present the products in a more modern-looking and attractive package. The half-gallon Pure-Pak® Curve carton with a spout was the right answer to this challenge and the transition has recently been completed by filling all the product range in this new pack,” says Jose Ortiz, Commercial Manager Elopak Inc.

“The carton is the best package for our products as it keeps it the freshest,” adds Marty. “The addition of the cap has made a big difference with many compliments from consumers. It was our partnership with Elopak that enabled us to introduce this important feature to our products.”

Quality is priceless

The Guernsey founder John McGuire had a very simple but strong business philosophy: quality is priceless. John and his wife Pat raised 14 children who learned the business and are still in charge today. In this era of corporate farms, the family-run Guernsey Farms Dairy remains committed to this principle - bringing it into every aspect of its work.

Today, Guernsey makes the highest quality and best-tasting milk and ice cream that money can buy – making the GUERNSEY BRAND for milk and ice cream the most recognized and well known in Southeast Michigan. The award recently won at the 2013 World Dairy Expo confirms that Guernsey Farms Dairy is on the right path to invite its customers to “Taste the Guernsey Difference” for many years to come.
