History
The origins of Dairy Barn traces back to the late 1930s. Edgar Cosman, a textile manufacturer, sent his son, Dieter to work in the family's parachute cord factory in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He was later stranded in New York because of World War II, and he purchased a dairy farm on Long Island. Later, he came up with the concept of a drive-through convenience store. The first Dairy Barn store opened in 1961. They are down to 19 stores as of April 2012

“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
