Open Gates Group, based near Kalona, Iowa, is a family of companies dedicated to producing, manufacturing, and distributing high-quality food products. What began as a single creamery has grown into 12 entrepreneurial businesses united by a commitment to stewardship, sustainability, and service.

Our Kalona SuperNatural® milk comes from grass-fed cows raised on small family farms. It is low-temperature pasteurized, non-homogenized, and verified regenerative through Land to Market—reflecting farming practices designed to support healthier soil and a healthier environment. We believe good food starts with good people. That’s why we work closely with Amish and Mennonite farmers who care for their animals and land using practices passed down through generations. Together, we are building a better food system—one that honors tradition, embraces innovation, and helps rural communities thrive.
