CEDAR GROVE CHEESE
Cold Storage Addition
Our long-time friends and neighbors at Cedar Grove Cheese, just down the road from Kraemer Brothers in Plain, are enjoying full use of their new cold storage addition. The building’s exterior is constructed out of split-face concrete block along with center scored CMU and metal ribbed siding. Featuring a loading dock for easily transporting the cheese, this facility also has an insulated sectional overhead door that seamlessly connects the new addition to the existing facility. To keep the products cold during storage, multiple ceiling-mounted, high-output evaporators are equipped in the cooler. Kraemer Brothers built the first addition to their plant in 1994, and this latest significantly increases the cheese plant’s capacity of traditional and specialty artisanal cheeses every year – and every morning they buy 30,000 pounds of milk from over 30 dairy farmers in southwest Wisconsin.
