Farms is a dairy cooperative owned by about 3,000 dairy
farmer memberships in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Foremost Farms also manufactures

and pharmaceutical industry worldwide.
Strang designed the existing office building in 1980.
The addition was designed to complement the award-winning
success of the existing building. The first phase included
construction of the 50,809-s.f. addition. Phase 2 involved
the renovation of the original 26,954-s.f. building.
Facility components include a milk-testing laboratory,
microbiology and culture laboratories, applications
laboratory and its associated demonstration room, training
rooms, office space, cafeteria and exercise room. Additional
amenities include a landscaped courtyard, restored oak
savannah, and walking paths. The facility plans call
for a future expansion.
Foremost's dynamic, light-filled, and vibrant office
environments, laboratories and support spaces was designed
and constructed to attract and retain employees, farmers
and develop new avenues to market their product.
