Alpenrose Dairy

Alpenrose Dairy is a dairy company located in southwest Portland, Oregon since 1916. It has been in the Cadonau family for several generations and was named after the alpine rose (Rosa pendulina) by the Swiss-born wife and early co-owner of the dairy.

The 52-acre (21-ha) grounds of the dairy include:

  • Circuit d’Alpenrose, a velodrome, one of only 20 such tracks in the United States. The track was built to host the 1967 National Championships. Alpenrose Velodrome is one most exciting tracks in the United States. At 268.43 meters around with a 16.6 meter radius and a 43 degree bank, Alpenrose is also one of the steepest velodromes in the country. The steep banks make races on the velodrome interesting to watch and just plain fun to ride. Alpenrose is still home for the only North American Six-day race. It hosts races all summer, and annually draws the largest velodrome crowd in North America for the Alpenrose Challenge, in mid-July.
  • Alpenrose Field, the site of baseball and softball games, including Little League championship games, since 1956.
  • Dairyville, a replica of a western frontier town, with false-front shops, a doll museum, an ice cream parlor, a harness-maker's store, a music shop, and a 600-seat opera house with a pipe organ (with 4000 pipes).
  • A quarter-midget racing arena.

Products from Alpenrose include milk, ice cream, eggs, and various cultured dairy products.
