Our Story
Three generations of dedication to sustainable agriculture and cattle excellence
Founded on Tradition
Arizona Dairy Co began in 1973 when Kenneth Morrison, Marvin Morrison, and Jim Tappan established their dairy operation in the heart of Arizona's agricultural valley. What started as a partnership with a shared vision of excellence has grown into one of the region's most respected agricultural enterprises.
Through decades of dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment to quality, we've maintained our family values while embracing modern agricultural practices. Our story is one of perseverance, adaptation, and deep respect for the land that sustains us.
Today, we continue to honor our founders' vision while looking toward a sustainable future for agriculture in Arizona and beyond.
