In 1979, Royal Prince Mohammad Bin Abdullah Al Faysal initiated the Al Safi Project by establishing the farm in Sahbaa valley, Kharj region – 120 kilometers southeast of Riyadh. In addition to covering the entire range of the dairy foods industry, which includes rearing cattle and yielding raw milk, the farm has also established an integrated private factory. This factory processes and packs fresh milk, long life milk, as well as its various subsidiaries.
