Foster Farms is based in Modesto California. Each week Foster Farms Dairy milks more than 5,000 cows (at its five dairies located throughout Stanislaus County) and processes approximately 2.5 million gallons of milk (at its three processing plants two of which are located in Modesto, the third in Fresno.) The company provides distribution via eight additional facilities located throughout the state. Annual sales average $300 million and the company employs approximately 650 people. It was 1939 and Max and Verda Foster took a chance in pursuit of a dream. Borrowing $1,000 on a life insurance policy, the couple placed a down payment on a small abandoned 80-acre farm south of Modesto in California's San Joaquin Valley. The operation, which began with a few chickens and turkeys, quickly expanded. In 1941, the Fosters added an all-Jersey cow dairy and distributed fresh milk in chilled glass bottles to the front doors of local Modesto residents.
