Through its dairy-processing plants, the cooperative oversees the processing and distribution of milk (around 1.5 billion liters a year), Cheddar cheese, and dairy ingredients (whey, lactose, milk powders). Its milk and cheese customers include other dairy processors, food retailers, and school lunch providers; its ingredient customers are in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
