How Marcoot Jersey Creamery Transitioned From Dairy Farm To Cheese Farm

GREENVILLE, IL – A decades-old dairy farm in Greenville, Illinois has transitioned to the artisan cheese business.

John Marcoot grew up milking cows on this farm. Years ago, John and his wife, Linda, decided they either needed to go big or get out of business. It was a tough time for small and medium-size dairy operations.
