Company History: In 1912, farmers became dissatisfied selling their milk to cheese makers who in-turn sold their cheese through dealers. Farmers thought they would be better off establishing a co-op of their own cheese factories, or at least force the cheese makers to sell to a Federation which the farmers would own. This would bypass the cold storage warehouses and other dealers who bought cheese.

Senator Henry Kumrey of Plymouth, WI led the effort for the farmers to organize. 1,500 farmers organized the Wisconsin Cheese Producers Federation in 1913. The Federation was located in northwest part of the city on Schwartz street. At its peak the Federation had a membership of 435 cheese factories from many counties. The Federation manufactured “Mello-Crème,” cheese that was aged in wood.

The Federation ceased in 1965 and the buildings were sold to Howard Stoll who developed Plymouth Creameries Inc.
