GUIDELINE 90 On-Farm and Small-Scale Dairy Products Processing has been designed to help those persons interested in processing and marketing milk and milk by-products that are produced and packaged in small-scale plants located on farms or in nearby non-farm sites. (Milk, Yogurt (Stirred and Set), Soft Cheeses, Hard Cheeses, Semi-Hard Cheeses, Butter and Ice Cream.)

This guideline provides general information about a wide range of business, production and marketing subjects to help guide prospective processors toward the production and sale of safe wholesome dairy products. This guideline starts postproduction with the fresh raw milk and ends with the sale of finished product to the consumer.
