Cabot Creamery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cabot Creamery Cooperative is an American dairy cooperative started in 1919 by farmers in Cabot, Vermont. The original plant had an investment of $3,700 in total, which was paid by 94 farmers in proportion to the number of cattle which each owned. By 1960, the cooperative had 600 member farmers. In 1992, the cooperative merged with Agri-Mark, another large New England farmers' cooperative.
The Cabot Creamery now has facilities in various locations, mostly in Cabot and Montpelier. The cheese-making facilities in Cabot offer tours and information, and sell souvenirs to visitors. There are, as of 2004, about 1,350 members in Vermont and the nearby part of upstate New York. The cooperative still uses the Rochdale Principles.
They make and sell dairy products, and are well known for their cheddar cheese, which has won awards in many competitions.
