Hollandia
Dairy is family owned and operated.
The story begins in 1949 when Mr. & Mrs. Arie de Jong and their
10 children settled in Poway. They came from Holland where Mr. De
Jong had been in the dairy business. Their worldly possessions were
few and included a total of $32.00 cash. From this humble beginning
Hollandia Dairy was to get its start. |

One year later, the family bought a dairy on the corner of Felicita
and Highway 395 (now Centre City Parkway) in Escondido. Sales at
the Cash & Carry were approximately $8.00 per day.
|
| The greatest
strength of Hollandia Dairy was its family unity. Everyone worked
for the growth and development of the dairy. The same family unity
continues to this day, adding strength and direction to the dairy.
As a result, Hollandia Dairy remains, today, as one of the oldest
independent producer and distributor dairies in the State of California. |
