About Us
Since 2003, we’ve been building a legacy—starting with one simple, powerful idea: that milk should be organic, minimally processed, and come from small family farms. That vision became Kalona SuperNatural, our flagship dairy brand, known for its integrity, simplicity, and connection to the land.
What began with milk has grown into Open Gates Group, a family of entrepreneurial companies rooted in the values of stewardship, sustainability, and service. From organic dairy and ingredients to logistics and warehousing, each business is committed to creating value and enhancing lives—especially in rural communities.
We believe that good food starts with good people. That’s why we partner closely with Amish and Mennonite farmers who care for their animals and land the way it’s been done for generations. Together, we’re working toward a better food system—one that honors tradition, embraces innovation, and uplifts the communities we call home.
