In rural Ohio, equidistant from Cleveland and Pittsburgh, lies America’s oldest family-owned butter and cheese creamery. A fifth generation operates 129-year-old Minerva Dairy today, with a sixth generation on the way.
Currently running the Minerva, Ohio-based dairy processor are Venae Watts and brother and co-owner Adam Mueller. Watts serves as vice president of sales and also works with public relations, marketing, and new product development. In addition, she works closely with the production department, which Mueller runs.
