OUR ROOTS
A Family Business Rooted in Acushnet MA Since 1896
The White Brothers story reaches back to 1896, when the White family’s dairy operation in Acushnet began a legacy that would continue through generations.
​
Over the years, the business grew into a substantial dairy farm, producing and delivering milk to customers throughout the region. At its height, the operation maintained approximately 1,200 cows and bottled milk on site.
​
As the dairy industry changed, the White family changed with it — adapting the business while continuing the tradition of dependable service and family ownership that still defines White Brothers today.
