Summary
Kansas-based Dairy Farmers of America said it would idle the St. Albans Creamery in Vermont and lay off 81 people following its 2019 acquisition of the facility from a local co-op. The creamery, a balancing plant that processed local milk into products including cream sold to Ben & Jerry’s, will be idled amid recent closures that have unsettled Vermont’s dairy sector. The local co-op has agreed not to dismantle the plant while it arbitrates a Teamsters union claim that the closure was retaliation for a strike last year. The announcement comes alongside other recent dairy-plant closures in the state that eliminated dozens to hundreds of jobs at different facilities.
