1965
|
Jim Boyd and Reese Boatman moved from Golden to start Longmont Dairy Farms. Having worked in the dairy industry in Golden, Boyd and Boatman were interested in their own business.
|
|
1968
|
Jim and Reese started with a small processing plant behind the Boyd's home on Coffman Street, a small dairy herd and an old milk truck. They milked the cows by 6:00 a.m., processed the milk the same day, and delivered it cold and fresh by 6:00 a.m. the following morning.
In the 60's, customers would come by the family home to buy milk from the dairy. David's mother and sister would go out to the processing plant, behind the house, to sell milk in bottles to the customers.
Home Delivery continued to be popular in Longmont and surrounding areas during the years when it was being phased out in the rest of the country.

| 1988 |
Co-founders Boyd and Boatman retired from the business in 1988. The family tradition was assured when David and Susan Boyd entered the business. |
| 1989 |
David and Susan rented a new farm, the processing plant and store. They purchased a new herd of Holstein dairy cows, reorganizing as Longmont Dairy Farm, Inc.
|
| 1991 |
The first MOOO NEWS was published; a unique way to keep customers informed and provide feedback to Longmont Dairy Farm.
|
| 1992 |
Glass bottle supplies were threatened with only one manufacturer of glass milk bottles remaining in the country. With rapid growth, supply was critical, so the Boyd's commitment to glass led them on a frantic search. With average use of bottles at twenty times, the supply was critical. Fortunately, one company saw the recycling trend in containers, and started a glass bottle plant in 1992. |
| 1994 |
Longmont Dairy bought a new, larger farm and expanded the existing barn to milk more cows.
|
| 1995 |
Longmont Dairy began serving customers of Golden Peak Dairy, in Golden, the original training ground of the farm's founders.
|
| 1998 |
New offices were opened to allow more space at the plant for more growth.

1999

With a strong commitment to customer service, Longmont Dairy launched a Website with order-change forms, information on the company, nutritional data, a Kids' Corner and Mooo News recipes.
2000 The Country Store, located on Hwy. 66 and North Main St. in Longmont, received a new look and name. Filled with Farm Fresh products, from all over Colorado, the location is a fun stop for ice cream and dairy products.
Today, with over 700 cows on our new farm near Loveland, we control the entire process of milking. The dairy is still growing and services a wide area extending from north of Longmont, south along the foothills to the Denver suburbs. |
