Geocache Description:

New Dundee Creamery Co-op. 1938


New Dundee Creamery 1971


The most significant business was the New Dundee Creamery which provided employment for more that 100 individuals. It opened in 1908 as a cooperative owned by the dairy farmers who supplied it with milk. By 1930 it was churning out 1,000,000 pounds of butter annually. By the 1960’s it had grown to 5,000,000 pounds plus more that 115 million pounds of milk. In 1982 it was acquired by Ault Foods. In 1997 Parmalat purchased it from Ault Foods. In 1998 the last dairy product was shipped out of the plant when Parmalat closed the creamery due to restructuring. The closure cost the village its largest employer.

The cache is hidden directly across the street from the original creamery location.
