818-Laneastar Farming, Saturday, June 4, 1994 Milk coming In from the farm. As the milk comes In, it is pumped into three milk silos, which have a total holding capacity of approximately one million pounds. Smile And Say Cheese KAREN BUTLER Maryland Correspondent HANCOCK, Md. “Cheese!” Thai’s what approximately 175 dairy farmers throughout Mary land, Pennsylvania, and West Vir ginia say each time they ship their milk to Jefferson Cheese Manu facturing in Hancock, Md. The manufacturing plant has been in business since the early 1970 s and has adapted to changing times thanks in large part to a number of innovative and progressive man agement decisions about the way the plant operates. Started by the DeStefano family in the 1940 s with one processing plant in Vermont, the cheese manufacturing business was suc cessful and grew. In 1974, a sec ond plant, Jefferson Cheese Manufacturing, was opened in Hagerstown, Maryland. This plant remained in business at the Ha gerstown location until June 1991, when operations were shifted from Hagerstown to the com pany’s present location in Han cock. In 1988, the Vermont plant was sold to a Canadian company out of Montreal, and in early 1991, right before the move to Hancock, the Hagerstown operation was also sold to the same company.
