About Reed's Dairy

Reed’s Dairy Farm Brings Four Idaho Generations of Family Values To Your Table

Welcome to Reed’s Dairy.  We began our family-owned milk delivery business in 1955 in Idaho Falls.  The dairy was started and operated by Larry Reed while his two brothers, LeRoy and Dave managed the farming side of their business growing hay, potatoes, and grain.  Larry was the driving force to bring Reed’s milk directly to the consumer.  As owner of the dairy, his vision of farm to table was truly years ahead of its time.  The dairy is now operated by Larry’s son Mike Reed, his nephew Alan Reed and Refugio Cervantes.  Alan’s son Sam is now the third generation Reed to be involved in the business.

A farm-to-table enterprise in the truest sense, our Idaho Falls dairy farm has 250 Holstein cows, which provide milk for our delivery service in eastern and western Idaho. Dairy products, including ice cream, are also available at our four retail locations. You will appreciate that all the dairy products we sell are produced and processed on-site; it is generally sold to our local community of customers within hours of the cows being milked!

Our top-selling products include chocolate milk, cheese curds and eggnog during the holidays. In store, our 80+ flavors of ice cream and legendary grilled cheese on homemade bread are also favorites. In September 2009 Saveur magazine raved about our ice cream: “… we have found none better than at Reed’s Dairy. The flavors are almost supernaturally sumptuous.”
