Moments after Dairy Foods arrived at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Mich., in July, the rental car clerk asked what the car was needed for.
Any North American processing facility producing dairy-based foods and/or beverages is eligible to enter as Dairy Foods' Plant of the Year. The deadline is June 16.
Dairy Foods has a long tradition of devoting part of the August issue to our “Plant of the Year” winner. Previously, we’d nominate only the dairy plants we’d profiled in the past 18 months, and allowed readers to choose the winning facility. But this year we decided to do things a little differently: We opened up nominations to any exceptional U.S. dairy plant.
Nearly 4,000 votes were cast in this year’s poll, and the string cheese processor’s plant came out on top.

On behalf of the entire Baker Cheese team, we are honored to be voted the Dairy Foods 2020 "Plant of the Year." Our plant’s success is directly impacted by the incredible dedication and talents of our 250-plus employees and the quality of milk we receive from our local farms. These two critical components allow us to partner with an amazing list of customers that value our award-winning and world-class string cheese.
