Dairy Farmers of America will effectively close its St. Albans milk processing plant and the adjoining St. Albans Creamery & Supply, the group announced Wednesday, putting roughly 80 employees out of work.
“Both the plant and store have been foundational parts of the St. Albans community for generations,” DFA said in a statement, adding that it recognizes “the deep local connections to these operations.” A DFA spokesperson told VTDigger that idling the plant means day-to-day production will end, but the group will retain ownership of the facility and maintain a “small team” on site.
