She was 75. Few have done more to preserve the land and culture of western Marin County (San Francisco Bay Area), where she settled to start a family in 1950. She will be particularly remembered by fellow farmers and environmentalists as a determined optimist who brought opposing parties together to protect and revitalize the region's agricultural greenbelt.Ellen Tirza Lotte Prins was born February 21, 1927 in Amsterdam Holland. In February 1940, Ellen and her family fled to New York, just ahead of the Nazi invasion.

With small beginnings and great expectations, we at Stremicks Heritage Foods have come a long way in order to establish a reputation based on our expertise and commitment to quality.The early stages of development were begun in 1988 when our President and CEO, Lou Stremick, purchased Carnation dairy in Los Angeles and changed the name to Main St. In 1990, Lou and a group of investors purchased Adohr Farms and merged both Main St. and Adohr together. Adohr Farms was founded in 1916 by Merritt and Rhoda (backwards, that's Adohr) Adamson, and became the worlds largest milk producer. After a rich history including Spanish land grants, a battle to overcome the Great Depression, and more than two decades of ownership by Southland Corporation, Adohr Farms was ready for a new vision and new direction. As our focus changed to meet the increasing demand for organic and 'good for you' products, so did our name. Newly named Stremicks Heritage Foods, we took our already exceptional line of products to new heights with our Organic Milk and will continue to bring you more ‘good for you' products.The knowledge and expertise of the people who brought Stremicks Heritage Foods to where it is today dates back long before the company was established. We've assembled a team with exceptional experience. In fact, our staff boasts an average tenure of more than 25 years and we recognize all of the hard work each individual provides in order for this company to continue to prosper. We are building our history together.
