has abstract	Rockview Farms was established in Downey, California, in 1927 by Bob Hops. In 1930, Mr. Joseph J. McCandless organized the dairy. In 1938, Rockview Farms won a gold medal in the raw milk exhibit at the Los Angeles County Fair. The McCandless brothers were selling retail with the help of Joseph McCandless' wife from Ireland. A fire in 1957 destroyed a 900-foot barn at the dairy's address at 7011 Stewart and Gray Road and burned between 900 and 1000 tons of hay. Several corrals burned and total damages were estimated at $50,000. A dairy spokesman was quoted as saying the fire was "believed to have been accidentally started by children playing with matches or youths smoking and unauthorized to be on the premises." In 1959, Rockview had 250 employees and 4 drive-in dairy stores with 2 in Downey offering a complete line of dairy products. In a publication about the city, a page on Rockview was written saying, "Rockview's low prices save housewives many dollars per year" and "Mr. J. McCandless, who has high regard for America's youth has provided guided tours of Rockview's facilities. Each year, over 15,000 school children and Scout groups enjoy these trips." Rockview Farms' cattle won 175 gold medals at State and County Fairs from 1930 to 1959. Peter DeGroot, who originally supplied Rockview Farms with milk, bought the dairy in 1965 when the McCandless Brothers declared bankruptcy, and expanded the operation to 6 drive-in stores, 70 home delivery routes, and 8 wholesale routes.
