A $12 million cold milk separation facility is underway in York that will open next fall, bringing with it an array of quality dairy products and a diversified approach to local business.
Ground broke recently for the project, named Western New York Enterprises LLC, according to anarticle by Jim Krencik in The Daily News. It is part of a unique partnership between Wyoming and Livingston County dairy farms and a national dairy marketing cooperative. In all, eight farm investors are part of the project that is being built next to a methane digester and large-scale milk operation at Noblehurst Farms.Once complete, the 14,000-square-foot facility will process more than a million pounds of milk per day, according to the article. It is owned in part by CSV and in part by Dairy Farmers of America.
“Noblehurst Farms President John Noble said the partnership and the new facility are a forward-looking approach to both diversify member farms’ output and provide an outlet to value-added products like Greek yogurt,” reads the article. “Their products will also be marketed tocheese and ice cream producers.” PD
