About 70 people, under the direction of Scott's brother, Bill Stocker , the company's Shullsburg production manger, grade, cure, slice, pack and distribute the cheese out of its approximately 20,000 square-foot plant. The company also has another operation in La Porte City, Iowa. The front of the building at the southeast corner of Gratiot and Church streets, the part that looks so old, includes six loading docks. One is for big semis and is frequently occupied by customer-owned trucks. Creamery staff, under the direction of distribution center chief Jeff Weaver, custom loads these trucks, usually bound for large supermarket chains.
Customers then distribute the products to the stores.
Weaver, who along with his wife owns and operates the restored Partridge Hall in Argyle, is a prime example of the way Shullsburg Creamery employees carry the company's philosophy to other corners of Lafayette County. Stocker said the creamery is a progressive employer that tries to give its employees a good work environment and a sense of their value. Obviously, they also carry the company's values to the communities in which they live. Bliss Communication Inc. All rights reserved. Use of this material subject to the Times Terms of Use .
