Brattleboro, VT Yogurt Factory Set To Open In Fall

BRATTLEBORO — Sometime early next year, spoons will be dipping into cups of Commonwealth Dairy yogurt produced right here in Brattleboro.

But first, shovels have to dig in the ground and that process has begun.

"This is an exciting and critical milestone in the evolution of our project," stated Dieter Dobousek, Commonwealth Dairy’s vice president and chief technical officer. "It has taken over two years to get to this point, and everyone involved in the project is excited to finally see some real activity on the site."

Dobousek thanked town and state officials and local business leaders for their help in choosing Vermont and finding a place in Brattleboro.

The production facility is being built on 5.9 acres of land in the Delta Campus off Paul’s Road. The facility is expected to create at least 24 jobs within 3 years, with hiring expected to begin in October, stated Dobousek.
