Bottling

At Heartland Creamery, we believe that our customers deserve the pleasure of drinking truly fresh, wholesome milk. Our bottling plant uses glass bottles to preserve the natural fresh flavor in our milk.

Sometimes milk that is bottled in plastic absorbs a slight plastic flavor. More delicate types of milk, such as goat's milk, are especially susceptible to flavor absorption and must be carefully handled. Our reusable bottles are made of thicker glass so they won't break easily. They are also recyclable and environmentally friendly -- simply rinse out your used bottles and return them to the store for a refund of your bottle deposit.

Although Heartland Creamery promotes old-fashioned service, our processing and bottling are all state-of-the-art, right down to the way we wash our glass bottles. The bottle washing machine can hold about 300 bottles at one time. First, the bottles are completely submerged into a cleaning solution. Next, they are power washed, rinsed with fresh water, then sanitized and sent to the bottle filler for fresh, creamy milk from our own herds!

Most people do agree... "Milk tastes BETTER in glass."
