Sunshine Dairy is a dairy manufacturer and supplier in the Kerns neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States. The company was founded in 1935. As well as a full line of dairy products, the company also produces plant based yogurts at its processing facility on Northeast 84th Avenue and Halsey Street in Portland.
Sunshine Dairy Foods was founded in the mid-1930s by Greek restaurateur John Karamanos, who originally began the dairy delivery service for his friends working in Portland's food industry. There were 50 independent dairy processors in the city at this time.
In 1994, customers began asking Sunshine numerous growth hormone-related questions when the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved the use of Bovine Somatotropin (rBST) that year. In 2001, Sunshine Dairy became the first dairy in the area to buy only rBST-free milk.
Sunshine's largest vendor is Oregon Milk Marketing Federation (OMMF). OMMF members are almost universally family farmers who manage small to mid-sized farms in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and the Yakima Valley and Chehalis in Washington.
