Expansion Capacity The company is investing in its Westby facility with a $14.1 million modernization and has secured roughly $15.5 million in USDA Rural Development funding to expand capacity, including cottage cheese production—positioning it to meet regional demand and enabling scalable partnerships with retailers, grocers, and foodservice providers that can accommodate additional SKUs or private-label opportunities.

Award Winning Quality Recent accolades at the World Championship Cheese Contest include multiple top finishes and a second place for French onion dip, signaling premium product quality and credibility that can support conversations with retailers and restaurants for premium SKUs, co-branding, and exclusivity deals.

Direct to Consumer A tech stack with WooCommerce, MailChimp for WooCommerce, MonsterInsights, and Facebook Pixel indicates in house e commerce and marketing capabilities, enabling fast activation of online orders, subscription programs, regional delivery, and direct partnerships with regional retailers and co-ops.

Cooperative Advantage As a farmer owned cooperative that directly supports family farms and offers both organic and conventional dairy, Westby can appeal to retailers prioritizing local sourcing, transparency, sustainability narratives, and farm to table storytelling for store banners and institutional buyers.

Growth Funding Momentum The combination of USDA funding and modernization investments demonstrates financial health and a clear growth runway, supporting longer term supply contracts, multi SKU arrangements, and scalable partnerships across the Midwest.
