Pine Hill Dairy (Barbados)

Weather…

Pine Hill Dairy, officially Barbados Dairy Industries Limited, was established in 1966 in the area known as The Pine in St. Michael. Its opening was a landmark event, occurring in the same year Barbados achieved independence, signaling a move toward national self-sufficiency in food production. The dairy is the primary processor of fresh milk on the island, sourcing its supply from a dedicated network of over 15 local dairy farmers. This partnership is vital for the survival of the Barbadian livestock industry. Beyond fresh milk and yogurt, Pine Hill is widely recognized for its extensive line of fruit juices, which are staples in households across Barbados and are exported to various Caribbean neighbors. The facility operates under strict ISO quality standards and continues to be a major employer in the manufacturing sector. For decades, Pine Hill Dairy has remained a symbol of local industry, providing essential nutrition and supporting the rural economy through its commitment to Barbadian agriculture.
