In 1927 Harry Goldberg loaded his horse-drawn carriage and traveled the streets of Philadelphia to deliver his farm-fresh milk to local residents. Before long, Harry expanded his business to include delivery of other fresh dairy products, such as sour cream and cottage cheese, and so began Penn Maid’s long standing relationship with consumers in the Philadelphia area. Harry’s philosophy was a simple one—to make and deliver the freshest, highest quality dairy products to consumers at affordable prices. Today, this simple philosophy is still the cornerstone from which Penn Maid continues to operate. Penn Maid’s line of products has grown to include a wide variety of dairy products including sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, dip, creamers, cream cheese, butter, cheese and condiments.

As Harry's business grew, his base of operations changed from his home to a manufacturing operation based out of two row homes in South Philly. Business continued there until the mid 1970s when the entire plant was moved to the far Northeast section of Philadelphia.

With this geographic change, the face of the corporate logo also changed from it long standing “Quaker Maid” to a more fun and trendy cow. Queenie the Cow, named by Penn Maid founder Harry Goldberg in honor of his wife, Queenie, can be seen on all of the product manufactured by Penn Maid.
