Team Straus

Over 30 years ago, Albert Straus set out to show the world what organic, sustainable dairy could look like. That vision is alive today — not just in our products, but in the people who make them. Our team is united by a shared belief that how you farm, how you lead, and how you show up for your community matters.

What Guides Us

At the heart of everything we do at Straus are our core values – they guide how we show up for each other, our work, and our communities everyday:

Sustainability

We create positive impacts for the environment, our team members, and community as we build a thriving business.

The People Who Make it Happen

Behind every bottle and every carton is a team of around 130 people who genuinely care — about organic farming, about sustainability, and about the families and communities our work touches. Here’s a little bit about who they are.

"Farming is deep in my roots—I grew up on an almond farm, surrounded by family and loved ones who care deeply about agriculture—so Straus’ mission matters to me because it directly supports farmers and helps preserve Sonoma County’s cherished dairy community, and I love working alongside the people here who fully support that mission as well."

Nourishing 
Our Community

Giving back isn’t a line item for us — it’s a reflection of who we are. In 2025, Straus Family Creamery donated over half a million dollars in monetary and in-kind support to mission-aligned nonprofits and community organizations.
We focus our giving across five areas that are closest to our hearts: Environmental, Food & Culinary, Community, Organic Industry & Policy, and Farming.
