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 Dairy's long standing relationship with Philadelphia and its patrons. Harry's philosophy was a simple one - to make and deliver the freshest, highest quality dairy products to consumers at affordable prices. Today, many generations later, this simple philosophy is still the cornerstone from which Penn Maid Dairy continues to operate. Penn Maid Dairy's line of products has grown to include a variety of sizes, types and flavors of sour cream, cottage cheese, yogurt, dip, cream cheese, butter, cheese, dessert, and condiments. As Harry's business grew, his base of operations, which was his home, changed to a manufacturing operation which consisted of two row homes in South Philly. The homes were modified into a manufacturing plant and business continued there until the mid 1970's 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, as the cow was named, with her pear shaped face and unmistakable red lips, can be seen on all of the products manufactured by Penn Maid Dairy.
From sponsoring little leagues, helping with community and school events, to employing more than two-hundred hard working Philadelphians, Penn Maid Dairy is an active member of the community, often seen at local fund-raisers helping organizations such as March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, American Diabetes Association, and many more, as we supply both staff and dairy refreshments to fundraising participants.
