Duchess Dairy Expands Wythe County, Virginia, Operations
12/20/2024
The $895,000 project will include the addition of a production line of churned butter.
“We take great pride in sourcing only fresh, high-quality milk from our dairy cattle to produce bottled milk and other dairy products,” said President of Duchess Dairy James Huffard, III. “This expansion project will help us meet growing consumer demand by increasing operational efficiencies, increasing production capacity, and adding a production line of fresh churned butter.”
Governor Youngkin approved a $25,000 Facility Grant from the Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund, which Wythe County will match with local funds.
“I am pleased that the Governor’s Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund’s facility grant allows us to partner with Wythe County to support the expansion of Duchess Dairy,” noted Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Matthew Lohr. “This expansion increases dairy processing opportunities in the state, especially dairies in Southwest Virginia, and supports the growth of Virginia’s dairy industry.”
Duchess Dairy produces approximately 7,000 gallons of traditional and flavored milk per week. The company’s products can be purchased by consumers in a variety of retail stores across Southern and Southwest Virginia, to include large-chain grocers like Food City, Food Lion, independent grocery retailers, and specialty stores.
