TURNER DAIRY FARMS
INC. AWARDED MORE
THAN $300K FOR
EXPANSION PROJECT
Turner Dairy Farms Inc., located in
Penn Hills, was awarded $334,282 in state
funding Wednesday to increase its facility’s
dairy processing capacity.
State Rep. Tony DeLuca, D-Allegheny,
made the announcement, adding that the
allotted funding was awarded through the
Pennsylvania Dairy Investment Program
and approved by the Commonwealth
Financing Authority.
“I am so pleased I was able to assist
with this grant for Turner Dairy,” DeLuca
said. “The Turner family farm has been
an integral part of the municipality since
it was founded in Penn Hills in 1930.
They are very good to the community and
while so many local dairies have closed,
they continue to find ways to succeed and
produce national award-winning milk and
dairy products. They are a major employer
and it is an honor to have them here in my
hometown.”
DeLuca said the farm has reported great
success and larger sales numbers following
a 2014 initiative to offer limited-time-only
flavored milk products. However, that
success calls for an expansion effort to
their facility, he added.
DeLuca said the project entails the
installation of a new 20,000-gallon
refrigerated silo tank for handling bulk
cream; stainless steel piping and electronic
controls to connect the tank to the
existing system for receiving, processing
and shipping bulk cream; and new piping
and controls to the existing 5,000-gallon
tank to incorporate the tank with the
other two existing 3,500-gallon tanks
within the flavored milk and fresh cream
products system.
