Trickling
Springs Creamery established in 2001 is just a small town
creamery. We are currently processing approximately 150,000
lb. of milk per month. The creamery is located in historic
Chambersburg, Pa. just off Interstate 81, 10 miles north of
the state Pa/Md. State Line. Our focus is to provide the highest
quality dairy products to our customers, from the highest
quality dairy cows. Our milk is All Natural and Certified
Organic. We like Milk in Glass Bottles because it taste better
, but we will put it in plastic for you. Our milk comes from
local dairy farms within 25 mile radius of the Creamery in
the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania. We have a personal
relationship with our farmers. The farms all focus on the
natural way of farming and we personally haul our own milk
from these farms.

| What is Homogenization? |
| - It's
the forcing of milk through a real fine screen at about 3000
psi, which breaks down the fat particles in the milk. Thus you
do not have separation of the cream or flavorings. |

of our milk is Homogenized. |
