100 Years is a long time.
Many American family businesses have impressive longevity, with several thousand having operated for over 100 years. These businesses, found in industries like manufacturing, retail, services, and agriculture, often share traits such as strong family legacies, long-term goals, and community connections.
Notable examples include Cargill (1865), Jim Beam (1795), L.L. Bean (1912), and Zildjian (1623). They face challenges like market relevance and intergenerational dynamics, often adapting by embracing innovation while maintaining core values. Organizations like the Family Business Institute support these enduring enterprises.
It is estimated that less than .05% of all businesses will make it past 100 years.
Fiscalini Farmstead is one of those. Standing the test of time, farming the right way in Modesto, California and now using that milk for the past two decades to craft award winning cheeses.
