Happy New Year, dairy fans! As the calendar flips to 2026, we’re thrilled to kick off a milestone unlike any other: C.F. Burger Creamery’s 100th anniversary. For a full century, our family-owned creamery has been delivering farm-fresh half & half, specialty creams, and more, right here in Michigan, right to your table.
This year isn’t just about looking back; it’s about sharing the excitement with you, our loyal community, as we roll out special celebrations, exciting giveaways, and events throughout the year that honor our past and toast our future.
A Century of Creamy Excellence
From our humble start in 1926 as a small milk bottling operation in Detroit, to becoming the only dairy processing plant still operating within city limits, C.F. Burger’s story has always been one of family, quality, and innovation. Across generations, we’ve grown our lineup beyond fluid milk into the rich creams you know and love:
- Half & Half: Our signature blend of fresh milk and cream, so it’s perfect for coffee, cereal, and so much more.
- Coffee Cream (Table Cream): That 18% delight that elevates every morning brew or fresh fruit parfait.
- Fat-Free Half & Half: All the creamy flavor without the fat, because everyone deserves a delicious start to their day.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: From pillowy whipped toppings to silky soups, this product adds a touch of luxury to any dish.
- Eggnog: Our most beloved seasonal treat! Smooth, perfectly spiced, and rich enough to become the centerpiece of every holiday gathering.
Each of these products carries our family’s commitment to uncompromising quality and the rich flavor that’s kept generations of Michiganders coming back for more.
