Marburger Farm Dairy

What Marburger Farm Dairy does

Marburger Farm Dairy is a privately held, family-owned dairy processor and distributor headquartered at 1506 Mars Evans City Rd in Evans City, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1938 by German immigrant George Marburger, Sr. (originally on 100 acres used for draft horses), the operation was converted to dairy production by his son Adam and has been run by the Marburger family for over three generations. The company manufactures and supplies a broad portfolio of fresh dairy and beverage products — Grade A milk in multiple fat levels, chocolate and flavored milks, award-winning gourmet buttermilk, yogurt, ice cream mix, butter, multiple cheese varieties, cottage cheese, ricotta, sour cream, cream and creamers, eggs, plus a tea and juice line that includes lemon tea, sweet tea, flavored and diet teas, apple and orange juice, and bottled water. Its signature Gourmet Buttermilk, which features visible flakes of butter and a traditional recipe, placed first at the 2018 World Dairy Expo and won Gold at the LA International Dairy Competition.

The company's go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer farm sales at the Evans City location with regional wholesale distribution to retail outlets and food-service establishments across Western Pennsylvania, and broader Eastern US distribution specifically for its buttermilk line. Products are marketed as hormone-free and rBST-free, and the facility maintains continuous Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification. Commercial activity is supported by a company website (marburgerdairy.com), a published phone/fax/toll-free contact suite, and a presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Tumblr. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are negotiated via direct contact, consistent with a small, relationship-driven B2B/wholesale model layered with farm-direct retail.

There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, external funding, parent company, or M&A activity in the available data, and no technology platform, API, or AI/ML capability is referenced. The business is best characterized as a stable, multi-generational regional dairy with a recognized signature SKU (buttermilk) that has leveraged that credential to extend its wholesale reach beyond its core Western Pennsylvania market.
