  • Our original plant was constructed in 1939. The four-story cooler was added in 1999 and expanded in 2003. It stretches 200,000 square feet, which covers over 27 acres.
  • We continually upgrade our facilities with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the highest quality dairy products.
  • There are approximately 600 employees, including 200 plant and cooler workers operating in three shifts, six days a week.
  • We process about 40 million pounds of milk monthly. Oh, and, of course, milk is received daily. Our receiving room is open seven days a week.
