In 1993, chef Charlie Palmer and cheesemaker Johathan White founded Egg Farm Dairy, intent upon restoring butter and cheese to the pantheon of great foods. Once the well-kept secret of America's great chefs, their products are now available nationwide in retail and food-service sizes. Their motto is: "Setting the dairy industry back 100 years."

Note: As of June 2001, Egg Farm Dairy is no longer in business.
