Our Story
After working for the Carnation Company in the 1950's and early 1960's, Bob Bray and Roy Skogmo were offered the opportunity to start a distributorship for Carnation in 1963. The majority of their business at that time was door-to-door retail sales. By the 1980's sales had declined in the retail sector so the company transitioned into wholesale sales exclusively. Bob Bray Jr. purchased the business in 1993 and shortly thereafter began distributing Edaleen dairy products which are produced and processed locally in Lynden, WA. Bob Jr.'s son Tyler joined the business in 2009. In 2020 Tyler brought back door-to-door retail sales, returning part of the company to it's roots. Whether delivering to your business or to your front door, local products delivered by a local distributor make Dairy Distributing the best choice for all of your dairy needs.
