From the Jan. 1937 issue of The Southern Planter
The construction of a cheese factory in Watauga County, North Carolina has opened a new market for dairy products in that area.
The factory, which started operating recently, is located at Beaver Dam and is under the management of Bud Trivett, former cheese maker at the Beaver Dam Cooperative Factory.
Trivett has a fine herd of Holsteins which is supplying part of the milk used in making the cheese. He is also buying milk from other farmers of the section.
A unique feature of this new plant is the method of cooling the curing room by piping water from a cold mountain stream directly into the plant. Evaporation of the water maintains a temperature just right for curing cheese.
F.R. Farnham, North Carolina State College, says that Trivett is manufacturing a five-pound cheddar brick cheese which is finding a ready sale. The cheese is of excellent quality and is made into a convenient size desired by homemaker.
