In 1915, Peter J. Oberweis found that he had too much milk so he began selling it to neighbors. In essence, the family dairy business that now spans almost 100 years had begun. The Oberweis family has been delivering milk to homes since 1927 when Peter bought a half partnership in the Big Woods Dairy. A few years later he bought the entire enterprise, renamed it Oberweis Dairy and his high school son Joe left school to help out. During the Depression refrigeration was inefficient. Milk could be safely kept only a few days thus necessitating daily home delivery.

The Mountain View team was founded by Randy and Ruth Ataide, Bill and Becky Janzen, and Mike and Peggy Thurlow in 1994. Having known each other for many years but never working directly together, the principals determined that there was the need for a different type of produce company to enter the marketplace. Each of the principals believed that in the modern agri-business world, the small and medium sized Growers and Packers were being dominated by corporate concerns, and that the family farm way of life were in jeopardy. The Ataide, Janzen and Thurlow families wanted to try to do something about this situation.Joining with like-minded local farmers of nectarines, peaches, plums and apricots, Mountain View broke ground on a state-of-the-art cold storage and distribution facility located in the very heart of their Growers fields. Surrounded by orchards and vineyards, this facility was intended to demonstrate the commitment of the founders to the family farms they served, and to prevent their fruit from being hauled long distances after picking for sorting, packing, storage and shipping.

A. McLelland & Son Ltd was founded in 1850. Our beginnings can be traced back to when grocer and grain merchant, Archibald McLelland, bartered his goods in return for fine dairy produce. A great entrepreneur of the Victorian era, he spotted the rapidly growing market in industrial Glasgow and steered his business towards wholesaling, starting with a stall in the cheese sections of Glasgow’s fruit market. By the 20th century, Glasgow has its own cheese market and McLelland became one of the city’s most distinctive merchants. Today, we have joined forces with Lactalis, who have brought their expertise and know-how as Europe’s leading dairy manufacturer. Our company is now known as Lactalis McLelland and we are one of Britain’s largest producers of cheddar cheese. We remain in Glasgow and with our leading brands, we continue to offer the highest quality cheese through all of Britain’s major retailers.

ORC Foods was started in August 1996 by Jeanette and Gregory Bukuras. At that time Jeanette was a full time stay at home mother of two and Greg was working for a large seafood distributor in the Boston area. Jeanette liked Crab Rangoons and Greg noticed that they could not buy them in the grocery stores. First they found a company that could make Crab Rangoons. Next they developed retail packaging. Finally while Greg was at work and the children went to preschool, Jeanette went out and called on a large list of supermarkets and club stores. Before long, Jeanette had built a nice customer base. Within a year, Greg left his job and went to work at ORC Foods full time.Since they have been in business, ORC Foods has become the largest supplier of Crab Rangoons as well as Scallops Wrapped in Bacon in the country. The company supplies most major supermarket chains as well as club stores nationally and military commissaries around the world. In August 2002, ORC Foods opened their own USDA inspected plant in Needham, MA. Jeanette and Greg are both proud that in the age of sending manufacturing jobs overseas, they have been able to grow their company in the USA.
