  • Food Network follows Foster Farms
  • Foster Farms Dairy will be featured on Food Network's new primetime series "How'd That Get On My Plate?". "The host of the series, Sunny Anderson, had a great experience on location while traveling behind the scenes of milk production," according to a news release. "Anderson learns the importance of happy cows as she visits a dairy farm in California." Anderson visited Foster Farms Dairy farm in Denair and the Foster Farms processing plant in Modesto, where she shows how milk is bottled for consumption and transformed into mint chocolate chip ice cream.

    She also follows the production of string cheese at a Wisconsin plant and milk chocolate at a Chicago plant, according to Food Network. In the series, Anderson, also host of "Cooking For Real," follows the journey of a single ingredient (such as eggs, garlic, honey or apples) as it moves from its raw state to finished product.

    Foster Farms Dairy, a spinoff of the Foster Farms chicken operation, is headquartered in Modesto. It was founded in 1939. The dairy's Kansas Avenue plant produces fluid milk, ice cream, sour cream, cottage cheese, dry milk and other products.

  • Cutting edge: innovative processes keep dairy manufacturing moving.
  • As with new product development, innovation is key to manufacturing processes. The best plants employ the latest technology, developed in close cooperation with key suppliers and assisted by in-house engineering teams to create custom designs for specific applications. Dairy Field visits a lot of manufacturing sites every year, each one bringing new perspectives to innovative plant processes. Here's a look at a few that particularly impressed us.

  • Modesto plant improvements give greater control over more of its product line

  • Foster Farms Dairy has been a full-line processor for many years, offering its own brand of ice cream and various cultured products in addition to the fluid milk and butter made at its plants in Modesto and Fresno, Calif.

    But the last five years have brought significant changes to the company's Kansas Avenue plant in Modesto that allow in-house manufacturing of practically its entire line. Fluid milk, butter, ice cream, cottage cheese, sour cream--just about everything except yogurt is made under Foster Farms Dairy's own roof.

    Of course, since the improvements are recent, they include top-of-the-line equipment.
