Production
[edit]Garelick Farms processes and manufactures dairy products such as milk, cream, ice cream, sour cream, cottage cheese and juices.[2] It has four manufacturing plants in Massachusetts, Maine, and New York, and purchases raw milk from approximately 1,000 local dairies in the region.[5] It is among the largest regional dairies in the United States, and is the largest dairy east of the Mississippi River.[4][2] In 2006, Garelick Farms processed over a half-million gallons of milk each day.[2]
Garelick Farms' operations included 17 plastic bottle manufacturing facilities located from Texas to Maine.[6] This was later consolidated into a subsidiary company by Suiza Foods, which was named Franklin Plastics, Inc.[6] In May 2018, Garelick Farms informed its employees that the plant in Lynn, Massachusetts would be closing.
