A Flourishing Social Enterprise: Real Fresh Dairy Farms Celebrates Eight Flavorful Years...

A glass of farm-fresh milk is the inspiration behind one of the country's successful small business stories.  What started as a social entrepeneurship project eight years ago, Real Fresh Dairy Farms has grown to become one of the country's premier dairy businesses...


Real Fresh Dairy Farms Inc. (RFDFI), based in Bay, Laguna, remains committed to their founding vision, a collective undertaking envisioned to be a model of private enterprise with a social purpose.  Today, Real Fresh Dairy Farms is at the forefront producing world-class quality products, from premium farm-fresh milk to youghurt, cheeses, and ice cream. It's an inspiring story, promising even more equally inspiring stories as Real Fresh Dairy Farms unveils its expanded product offering...


The lush and sprawling 27-hectare dairy farm at Bay, Laguna, is the heart and core of Real Fresh Dairy Farms, surrounded by verdant greens. This is where all the magic happens, where premium farm-freshness is bottled and packed daily. The farm, which now boasts of a modern processing plant, shatters the age-old "small business" myth, with Real Fresh Dairy Farms now producing world-class dairy products.


The company started as "an initiative for health and food security," shared former senator Ramon Magsaysay, Jr., one of the visionary founders of Real Fresh Dairy Farms (for more on Real Fresh Dairy Farms, see my previous post, At The Source of Carmen's Best's Freshness). Magsaysay also stressed the fact that only one percent of the country's dairy consumption are sourced from local sources. To rectify this imbalance, the company's founders hoped to enable Filipino children to have at least one glass of milk to meet the daily nutritional requirements of essential vitamins and minerals. And with that goal in mind, Real Fresh Dairy Farms set out to produce 100% premium farm-fresh milk and high-quality dairy products from superior and healthy cows following the best agricultural practices and modern farming technologies. And when you're this close to the source, you can be assured of enjoying pure and unmatched farm-freshness at its flavorful peak.


And it all begins with the finest Holstein-Sahiwal milking cows imported from New Zealand. Local consumers can now enjoy real fresh milk instead of the usual imported powdered milk or preservative-filled milk currently saturating the local market.

These same cows provide the milk for some of Real Fresh Dairy Farms' premium products, including artisan cheeses made with the freshest milk. At the farm, stacks of fresh seasonal Gouda are aged in hygienic facilities, soon to be ready for the local market...

...alongside its popular line of fresh milk, Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk. The continued success of Real Fresh Dairy Farms is proof that Filipino-made fresh milk and dairy products can match imported brands in the local market. And sometimes, a glass of the freshest milk is all you need to start the day right...

Fresh starts begin with fresh milk. Farm-fresh goodness in a bottle, Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk comes from Holstein-Sahiwal cows from New Zealand, with clean flavors and rich, creamy notes and absolutely no preservatives. The distinct richness of Holly's Milk delivers a whisper of subtle sweetness, lingering long after the first sip. All-natural and farm-fresh, it just doesn't get any better than this. Packaged in 1 Liter, 300 ml, and 200 ml variants, have it with your coffee or as is, and your day's all set on the right track. Throughout the supply chain, Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk and other dairy products are transported on refrigerated vans to ensure farm-fresh quality and superior freshness.

Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk is available in Pasteurized Whole Fresh Milk, Low Fat, and Chocolate (R), each one processed and bottled with the highest quality standards for real, honest and pure farm-freshness in a bottle. Proudly Filipino, it's refreshing products like these that renew your faith in local businesses, matching world-class standards with each and every product. Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk is the foundation for a full range of quality dairy products, including fresh yougurt and kesong puti, a local white cheese. Just look for the familiar blue Holly's logo and you just know you're getting good old-fashioned farm-freshness with each product.

And when you use 100% farm-fresh whole milk, you get the tastiest and creamiest yoghurt. Nature's original health snack, Holly's Milk Low-Fat Yoghurt (L) is available in 1 Liter and 200 ml PET bottles. Velvety smooth with a mild tartness and a hint of sweetness, it's great as is, even better with fruits and cereal. Add a generous drizzle of honey or syrup and you're off to a great and healthy start. And there's more...


And now, you can enjoy premium and farm-fresh local white cheese, with Holly's Milk Kesong Puti (R) made from the same Holstein-Sahiwal cows imported from New Zealand. Packed in convenient 200 gram packs vacuum-sealed to guarantee freshness, bring out some old-fashioned hot pan de sal and lay on some freshness with Holly's Milk Kesong Puti. It's fresh and clean flavors, and its creamy richness, make it an ideal and healthy breakfast or snack option.

Holly's 100% Premium Farm-Fresh Milk is also the source for the legendary creamy texture of one of the country's favorite local ice cream brands, Carmen's Best (for more on Carmen's Best, see my previous posts, Pure Indulgence: Carmen's Best Ice Cream, a feature on one of their new flavors, Carmen's Best Artisanal Ice Cream's New Flavor: Brown Butter Almond Brittle, and inventive ice cream creations, A Sweet Collaboration: Carmen's Best at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club). The elegant smoothness and distinct richness of Carmen's Best sets it apart from the usual commercial ice cream varieties, made with the farm-fresh milk from Real Fresh Dairy Farms prized herd of Holstein-Sahiwal milking cows. Many swear you haven't tried ice cream until you experience that first indulgent scoop of Carmen's Best. 


It's an inspiring story that began with a glass of farm-fresh milk. Eight years later, Real Fresh Dairy Farms remains committed to its founding vision: to advance the dairy industry in general with the ultimate goal of reducing the country's dependence on dairy imports by promoting agribusiness and providing economic opportunities in the countryside. And now, you too can enjoy a wide variety of farm-fresh milk, cheeses, yoghurt and ice cream...available in selected stores and outlets. And if you still can't get enough of real farm freshness, see my other post, Bringing Home Real Farm Freshness...with Holly's Chocolate Milk, Yoghurt, and Kesong Puti.
