Meyenberg Goat Milk is a brand of goat milk products created by the son of John Baptiste Meÿenberg.[1] Meyenberg was established in 1934. Goat milk was first evaporated by John P. Meyenberg, John B. Meyenberg's son.[2]

In 1921, John P. Meyenberg established the Meyenberg Milk Product Company in Salinas, California.[3] The company, now owned by Jackson family, is located in Turlock, California.[2] As majority stake owners Carol and Robert Jackson were set to retire, they sold the company to Emmi Group in 2017.[4]

On the back of a carton of Meyenberg goat milk it reads: "The MEYENBERG tradition of producing quality goat milk in the late 1800s when a Swiss immigrant invented the process for evaporating cow's milk."[5]

In 2021, the company launched Tailspring, a brand of goat milk alternatives for puppies and kittens.[6]

Production

Meyenberg Goat Milk Products are the top producers of commercially distributed goat milk in the United States.[7] Among the products sold by the company are powdered and liquid milk, butter and cheddar cheese.[8]
