Ron Paris grew up on a dairy farm in southern Wisconsin and combined with an education in dairy science has always had his hands in the agricultural industry. In 2000 the idea of creating a local, small town dairy developed, and after 2 years of intensive planning and consultation building began. In 2002 small scale equipment was installed and the first cups of yogurt were produced.

Sugar River Dairy believes that a minimally processed yogurt doesn't include the use of stabilizers, preservatives or hormones. We process a non-homogenized, active culture yogurt that is incubated in the cup giving you a naturally textured, real yogurt. We are a family owned, independent small business located in Green County, WI and keep our distribution local to minimize food-miles and the yogurt fresh. We currently produce blueberry, raspberry, strawberry and peach in 6 ounce cups, 1% plain, 15 vanilla and whole milk plain in 24 ounce cups.
