The Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers who gathered together in a cooperative to make their surplus raw milk into cheese. In the days before refrigeration, there were many such cooperatives in the rural agricultural communities and an abundance of fresh, creamy milk was turned into a food that could be stored for a longer period. Today, quality and taste are the hallmarks of their company's award-winning cheeses. Their traditions have stayed over the years: they make their cheese by hand using premium raw/unpasteurized milk from small, local family farms.
