About Us

The Gilman Creamery was founded in 1923 by farmers in need of a local outlet for their milk. The creamery operated as a skimming station for many years before it was converted to a butter factory. In the early 1930's, we began selling feed. Our present-day business is organized and operated on a cooperative basis, supplying merchandise and services to patrons and marketing milk for area farmers.

Today's Gilman Co-op Creamery is dedicated to serving the needs of our customers, our employees, our suppliers, and our community. Our goal is to supply superior products in a timely fashion.

The Gilman philosophy embraces helpfulness, integrity, honesty, individual freedom of thought, dignity of work, self-discipline, and humor. We plan continued growth through innovation and quality.
