Ben Biery , CEO ▶
. . . we invested in equipment for the plantbased space in 2019 and have been building our portfolio of products ever since
our facility is located , which was a natural and integral part of my life . We were much smaller then , but I got to know many of the team members that worked for us – some of them are still with us today . Having learned the importance of hard work at a young age , I absorbed the fundamental principles and values laid down by the generations before . These principles include treating people with respect , fostering an environment of openness and honesty , embracing teamwork , taking pride in what we do , and embracing evolution . The latter is a big part of our identity as an organization today . Our ability to evolve and adapt has been critical to our success ; from my great grandfather ’ s dairy farm to cheese production , from local farmer market distribution to multi-channel and multi-format cheese packaging , and the introduction of plant-based products . The key determinant of our success and enduring presence in the industry has been our status as a family business and the foundational principles established by my great grandfather . Throughout our history , each subsequent generation has fortified our company by reinforcing our values ,” he states .
The company ’ s diverse product range is a testament to its commitment to innovation . “ Our wide variety of products includes graband-go and pre-sliced cheeses , shredded cheeses , snack sticks , smokehouse items , award-winning processed cheeses , cube cheeses , and meat and cheese party trays .
