It’s also North America’s only certified Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) dairy.

The dairy’s sustainability theme is carried throughout the entire enterprise, from environmentally friendly waste processing to green cleaning agents and biodegradable packaging. The facility has received awards for both its product and its green buildings. The dairy has even built subterranean caves for aging cheese that provide a cool environment with little energy input.
