Two Strong Divisions.
One Commitment To Excellence

To meet the demands of a diverse group of consumers across the U.S., Dean Foods oversees two operating divisions, Fresh Dairy Direct and WhiteWave-Morningstar.

Fresh Dairy Direct: Delivering Confidence, From Coast To Coast

When consumers reach into their local dairy cases, they're looking for more than just a gallon of milk or a pint of sour cream. They expect a fresh, safe and absolutely delicious product.

Since its inception, Dean Foods has been building consumer confidence with a wide variety of local and regional dairy case brands that include milk, creamers, ice cream and cultured dairy products.

Freshness is key to our success of this group. With more than 80 facilities in 34 states, Fresh Dairy Direct relies on the most extensive refrigerated "direct store delivery" (DSD) system in the United States. Everyday we send out approximately 13,000 refrigerated trucks and trailers onto America's roads and highways to deliver our fresh products to more than 150,000 locations across the country.

As the only national dairy producer, nobody can deliver like we can.

WhiteWave-Morningstar: Good for You, Good for the Earth

Headquartered in Broomfield, Colo., our WhiteWave-Morningstar division enjoys a robust portfolio of premium food and beverage brands including organic and natural leaders -- Horizon Organic, Silk soymilk and indulgent favorites such as International Delight and LAND O' LAKES® products. In addition, we manufacture, market and sell private label cultured and extended shelf life dairy products. The team maintains a proud tradition of social and environmental responsibility.

More than just a leader in nutritious products, WhiteWave-Morningstar is committed to sustainable business practices. The division was recently recognized for the fifth time with the EPA Green Power Award for industry leadership in support of renewable energy. Click here to read more about Responsible Livelihood.
