As a leading player in the industry, we collect over 120 million litres of milk each year from more than 40 dairy farming families in Western Australia's pristine Southwest region.

Our diverse portfolio includes award-winning fresh dairy products like milk, cream, sour cream, yoghurt, flavoured milk, cold brew drinks, cheese, juice, and desserts. Our products are made in WA, and our CEO is from WA too. We take pride in being a leader in sustainability and offer free school tours to thousands of children every year to educate them about the benefits of dairy.

At Brownes Dairy, we strive to be at the forefront of innovation, meeting our critical responsibilities to the environment and sustainability head-on.

We aspire to be a listening, learning, and leadership organisation where everyone flourishes – our people, our farmer partners, our customers, and of course, the planet.
