5 Generations: Lamers Dairy
Jacob Lamers, Sr. started Lamers Dairy in
1913 in Kimberly, WI and it is still family
owned and operated to this day. In 1913
Raw milk was distributed to the villagers in
preserve cans and delivered to the
customers as members of the family went to
school in the morning.
The following year, they began using a
horse and buggy as the milk cart, until 1919
when the first truck was purchased.
The first milk bottles imprinted with the
Lamers' name were introduced in 1931 and
the first mechanical refrigeration in the
village was installed in 1932. The hand
operated milk bottling gave way to
automatic equipment and just a year later,
the Lamers installed equipment to
pasteurize the milk. In 1941, Lamers Dairy
introduced homogenized milk to the village
and also doubled the size of their building.
In 1950, the building was expanded again
and a laboratory was installed for quality
testing of all dairy products. Today five of
the Lamers children remain actively
involved. In 1998, the business was moved
to the current location on Speel School
Road in Appleton, Wisconsin.
