Craigs Station Ventures has formed a partnership with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) to build and supply a new cold milk separation facility in western New York.
The $12 million venture, dubbed Western New York Enterprises LLC, will open next fall alongside a new methane digester and large-scale milking operation at Noblehurst Farms in York. A 14,000 square-foot facility, powered by the digester, will use a pair of centrifugal separators to produce cream and low-fat, high-protein skim milk.
The Craig Road facility will process more than a million pounds of milk daily from the eight farmer investors of Craigs Station Ventures – Noblehurst and Lawnel Farms in York; Mulligan Farm and Coyne Farms in Avon; Baker Brook Dairy in Attica, McCormick Dairy Farms in Bliss, Southview Farm in Castile and Synergy LLC in Wyoming.
Together, the partnering farms milk more than 13,000 cows and produce more than 100,000 gallons milk each day.
