Full Job Description

Open Gates Group is a family of companies based near Kalona, IA, dedicated to supporting our employees and enriching our community. Deeply rooted in commitment to local farmers, we started with a creamery and have since grown to include 10 additional food industry businesses. Today, we proudly help source, produce, sell, and transport high-quality Midwestern products to over 3,500 stores across the nation. Our Organic Milk comes from grass-fed cows on small, family-owned farms that prioritize sustainability. We pasteurize our milk at the lowest temperature allowed by law (never ultra-pasteurized or sterilized) and keep it non-homogenized with a rich, delicious cream top.
