We can help you navigate volatile dairy prices by providing tailor-made risk management solutions. We offer competitive fixed pricing based on CME futures markets, and can buy out / buy back inventory on your behalf.
*SINCE 1930
For all things dairy
We’re located in the heart of California’s most productive dairy territory, Tulare County.
When it comes to all things dairy, we see it, live it, heck even smell it – which secures an unprecedented connection to producers and processors, and a reliable supply of high-quality products for our customers.
You can’t fortify a cheese vat with a future or run a blending operation on a hedge. Our competitors specialize in utilizing physical inventory to trade futures. FWD, on the other hand, specializes in securing your physical product.
