Scott, Randy and Rick

The Lafranchi Dairy is located in the rolling hills and open ridgelines of Nicasio in west Marin County, CA. The Lafranchi Dairy milks 425 cows on 1,150 certified-organic acres. The dairy is a top ten Dairy Herd Improvement Association producer, a prestigious award verifying herd and milk quality excellence.  

Founded in 1919 by Fred and Zelma Lafranchi, the dairy was passed on to their children Will, Hank, Ed , Art and Estelle in 1961. Will purchased the ranch from his siblings in 1973 and Will’s children, Randy, Rick, Scott, Jan, Dee, and Kim then bought it in 2005.  

Randy Lafranchi is now in charge of the day-to-day operations with Scott and Rick Lafranchi handling most of the off-site management issues. Sisters, Jan, Dee and Kim are silent partners.  

“We’re proud of our strong 90-year legacy in the dairy business. Practicing the highest level of dairy operating procedures ensures our dairy is the best it can be and as a result produces a product that consumers appreciate and value. Clover’s North Coast Excellence program helps us do that and demonstrates their dedication to local dairymen.”
