Darigold hosts commemorative groundbreaking for Washington facility
The $600M facility is slated to open in early 2024 and will process approximately 8 million pounds of milk per day.
Darigold Inc. hosted a commemorative groundbreaking ceremony
at the site of its future Pasco production facility. The $600 million facility is slated to open in early
2024 and will process approximately 8 million pounds of milk per day when fully operational from more
than 100 dairy farms in surrounding communities.
“The Pasco project represents our third major capital investment in as many years, the largest
investment in our co-op’s 104-year-history, and a significant step in an ongoing strategy to expand and
modernize Darigold,” said Joe Coote, the co-op’s chief executive officer. “We are a beloved heritage
brand with deep roots in Washington and around the Pacific Northwest, but there’s still considerable
opportunity for us to leverage industry growth – here at home and around the world – to become a top-tier global dairy producer. This facility will play an important role in helping us achieve that vision.”
