DAKIN DAIRY FARMS, INC.
MYAKKA, FLORIDA

Dakin Dairy Farms, Inc., founded by Romanus (Pete) Dakin in 1948, is a multigenerational Florida dairy farming family committed to producing superior quality, wholesome, farm-fresh dairy products. Over the decades, Dakin has grown into one of the last remaining dairy farms in Manatee County and operates from properties that span over 1,000 acres in Myakka City. The farm emphasizes environmentally sustainable practices and state-of-the-art methods, including the production of high-protein grasses and fresh grazing for their herd of Holsteins. This regimen provides milk enriched with naturally occurring beta-carotene, vitamin D, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, CLAs (conjugated linoleic acids), and other health benefits. Dakin Dairy Farms is unique among Florida dairies as it produces and bottles its own milk directly on the farm. The company plays a pivotal role in both state economies of tourism and agriculture due to its strategic location. Visitors can engage with the farm through various year-round activities, special festivals such as "Festival '4 Life'" in October and "Dairy Day Festival" in June (honoring National Dairy Month), plus enjoy offerings like fresh milk, cheeses, ice cream, milkshakes, and a range of unique gift items at their Farm Market Cafe. The farm's success lies not only in its innovative sustainable agriculture but also in its dedication to educating the public about the nutritional advantages of dairy products.
