The Dream

The dream became reality on October 1, 1935.

The dream was to build a company with no single owner, but many owners. The dream was a cooperative effort to turn the worst of times into something good. The dream was bigger than the obstacles it had to overcome. The dream was the Cass-Clay Cooperative Creamery Association.

Founded in the depths of the Great Depression with a small staff and meager payroll, Cass-Clay now employs more than 300 people.

Optimism and team spirit pervade our entire organization -- two qualities that have grown, like the creamery, ever since those dark days of our beginning. Those qualities have enabled us to fulfill our mission of being the best at what we do -- of taking one of nature's most perfect products and actually improving it.

Our mission is summed up in a phrase that appears proudly on every Cass-Clay carton and every Cass-Clay advertisement -- "We make good things better."
