Founded in 1984, Hilmar annually produces more cheese and whey from one site than any other manufacturer in the world, and employs more than 1,200 people. The company produces more than 21 million pounds of milk (9.5 million liters) of milk each day and receives milk from more than 230 dairies, producing more than 2.4 million pounds of cheese each day. Much of their cheese is found in stores under other name brands. This is a great example of a large facility. The site is full of educational opportunities from viewing the cheesemaking to agricultural and processing educational. Great for groups and also individuals just stopping by.
