Country View Dairy

What Country View Dairy does

Country View Dairy is a farmstead creamery operating from a single site at 15199 230th Street in Hawkeye, Iowa. Founded around 2011 and employing 1–10 people, the company produces fresh, non-homogenized dairy products from its own herd in a Grade A on-site creamery. Its product portfolio spans fluid milks (Whole, 2%, 1%, Skim), Heavy Cream, regular and Greek-style yogurts in multiple flavors, and a rotating line of premium and seasonal frozen yogurts — including a specialty Barista's Milk formulated for coffee service.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer retail operation at the farm, open daily 8 AM to 8 PM, where customers can also pet calves and observe milking. It extends its reach through farmers markets (Euphoria Farmer's Market), the Choose Iowa Farm Crawl agritourism program, and limited wholesale supply to local coffee shops (notably Roadside Stand Coffee in West Union and Clermont). Marketing is conducted primarily via Instagram (@countryviewdairycreamery) and Facebook, with community events driving top-of-funnel awareness.

Revenue mechanics are straightforward per-unit retail pricing (e.g., $3.00/gallon Whole Milk, $4.00 Greek yogurt, $5.00 premium frozen yogurt pint). The company is privately held, founder-owned, and has no disclosed venture or private equity backing; its only external capital inflow identified is a June 2026 Choose Iowa Dairy Innovation Grant from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, intended for processing equipment, robotics, automated systems, and herd health monitoring. Several SKUs carry an "Award Winning" label, though the awarding body is not specified in available sources.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• A2 Milk Company: Dairy brand built around specialty milk (A2 protein), sold at premium prices with health/quality positioning; useful comparable for non-homogenized, specialty-positioned fluid milk like Country View's Barista's Milk.

Regional players

• Kemps: Upper Midwest dairy processor producing fluid milk, ice cream, and frozen desserts; competes in the same frozen yogurt and milk categories but at much larger scale and with conventional processing.
• Hiland Dairy: Regional dairy processor headquartered in the Midwest producing fluid milk, ice cream, and cultured dairy; same product categories but Midwestern regional scale and conventional processing rather than farmstead.

Direct peers

• Pure Iowa Dairy: Small Iowa-based dairy producing minimally processed fluid milk and cream with a farm-direct/local positioning; geographic and product overlap make it the most directly comparable Iowa farmstead peer.
• Vermont Creamery: Small-scale, farmstead-style Vermont creamery producing cultured dairy (yogurt, crème fraîche, butter) and specialty cheeses; closely aligned on premium farmstead positioning and small-batch craft model.
• Organic Valley: Farmer-owned cooperative producing organic fluid milk, yogurt, butter, and cream sourced from small family farms; highly comparable cooperative/farmstead ethos and dairy product portfolio.
• Straus Family Creamery: Family-owned, farmstead creamery in northern California producing fluid milk, yogurt, cream, and ice cream on-farm with non-homogenized, minimally processed milk — same farmstead model, same craft positioning as Country View Dairy.
• Cabot Creamery Cooperative: Farmer-owned dairy cooperative producing fluid milk, yogurt, butter, and ice cream in the Northeast; comparable farm-supplied dairy product portfolio with premium regional positioning.
• Stonyfield Organic: Organic dairy brand best known for yogurt (cups, tubes, frozen), with farm-supply model that emphasizes family farms in New England; directly comparable product mix (yogurt, frozen yogurt, fluid milk) and farm-credibility positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Wells Enterprises (Blue Bunny): Iowa-headquartered, one of the largest U.S. ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers; same Iowa geography and direct overlap in the frozen yogurt category, but at vastly larger scale.
