Welcome to Burroughs Family Farms

Our Story
The Burroughs Family Farms story starts in 1896 when Ben Burroughs moved to California from Quincy, Illinois.
In 1906 he and 2 brothers purchased the Walnut Grove Farm in Knighsen, Contra Costa County, California. The Walnut Grove Farm was a dairy and the brothers needed a market so they established the Walnut Grove Creamery in Oakland. The Walnut Grove Creamery retailed milk in Oakland and the surrounding area.
