Prairie Farms Dairy has broken ground on a major expansion of its corporate office in Edwardsville, Illinois, with the construction of a new 42,000-square-foot, three-story complex featuring a full basement. This modern facility is designed to support Prairie Farms’ continued growth as one of the nation’s leading dairy cooperatives, creating a centralized hub for administrative functions, meetings, and company-wide initiatives. Once complete, the space will host large company gatherings, modern training opportunities, and foster greater collaboration among Prairie Farms’ nearly 8,000 employees.
This investment is part of a larger strategic effort known as Project SOAR (Strengthening Operational and Aspirational Results), which aims to unify the cooperative’s operations under a single, more efficient system. The expansion reflects Prairie Farms’ long-term vision to grow its brand footprint nationally and to strengthen internal infrastructure to support innovation, environmental stewardship, and producer incentives.
As the company looks ahead to the next generation of dairy farmers and broader brand recognition, this project underscores its commitment to both tradition and transformation. The new facility not only supports current operations but also lays the groundwork for future opportunities—reinforcing Prairie Farms’ role as a trusted name in communities across the Midwest and beyond.
