Discover > Business Spotlight > The Only Non-Homogenized Milk Source in Texas
A specialty store hidden in a small farm in Mcgregor, Mill-King Market and Creamery is offering natural, local, and organic food. They specialize in low temperature pasteurized, non-homogenized milk, cream, cheese, and yogurt.
They also carry eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured pork and poultry, bone broth, honey, and other minimally processed food. This grass-feed dairy farm makes the best “non-homogenized milk” you will ever find in Texas!
Mill-King focuses on making the preeminent dairy of Texas, bearing passion about what they do and the quality of dairy they produce for consumers — always incredibly fresh and consistent with a very good value for the quality.
Aside from the dairy products, Mill-king also offers unique organic products, like Salsa, organic non-GMO cereals, organic frozen mango, ice cream, as well as a varied collection or health food and specialty items.
The Idea Behind
A third-generation dairy family turned farmstead processor owns Mill-King Market and Creamery. Several factors, like their own food allergies and the economics of dairying, were large contributors for them to find a better way to the dairy, better dairy products that did not trigger allergies, and better compensation for dairying.
It was with deep research that they eventually found out about the community’s great demand for real dairy without all of the additives, preservatives, and modern processing.
Humble Beginnings
The Miller family began milking cows in Crawford and McGregor (outside of Waco) in the early 1940s when they moved to the area. They have continually operated a dairy in a single process from then on — until 2010.
It was in 2010 that they decided to make and change their operations. In the succeeding year, they built a plant to process milk and make cheese, and their products finally hit the market in early 2012.
What Sets Them Apart
The fact that they process their own milk (as well as other local dairies) already sets them apart from other local farms or dairies in Texas. Mill-King Market and Creamery have specific guidelines to follow for animal care, feeding, milk quality, and processing.
Their milk is low temperature pasteurized (vat) and is not homogenized. Processing the milk at a lower and slower temperature allows much of the natural goodness to stay in the milk. Not homogenizing milk, according to research, allows the body to better process the fat in it.
They also do not put synthetic additives, water, or preservatives in the milk. Their cattle are also grass-fed, ensuring that the milk source is as healthy as can be with no GMOs involved, only sustainable farming methods.
Mill-King Market and Creamery is proud to have a hand in the whole process — from the birth of the calves until delivery to the consumer. Being involved in the process ensures quality throughout.
