The History of Crystal Farms

Crystal Farms dates back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Nathan Friedell and Julius Rosenberg immigrated from Russia to America, and each started a business of their own. Nathan created Nathan’s Produce Company, while Julius opened an egg business. 

By the 1970s, both businesses had flourished, and they joined together under one company—Crystal Farms. Today, Crystal Farms carries on those wholesome roots, offering high-quality cheeses and so many more delicious products

Onto the cheesy part! Crystal Farms works to source dairy from the Midwest, so no matter where you are, you can bring a little Midwestern goodness to your table.

From shreds, blocks, slices, and singles to snack cheeses, cracker cuts, ricotta, specialty cheeses, cream cheese, butter, and even breads like English muffins and bagels, there’s something for every kind of cheese lover. Their newest protein bagels are another tasty addition to the lineup, packing 16 grams of protein per bagel.
