My DH enjoyed seeing this thread!

Yes, that is the plant and he is very familiar with it! That plant used to just make bulk 1# blocks of butter and just recently installed equipment to make quartered 1 # blocks.

Mine comes from the Amish family down the road.
I used to make my own when I had the milk goats.

My goat milk and butter don't taste nasty..I hate to hear that..all milk should be taken care of properly for good taste and looks..

My goat milk tastes like milk not goaty at all. You need to try different goat milk the stuff you had wasn't handled properly.

The stone work over the butter plant in my town says it's the largest butter plant in he world. Don't know that is still true, but am happy they rebuilt after the big fire a few years ago. That was something to see.....

The movie 'New In Town' was set in my town, tho not filmed there. Not a great movie either, but it involves a romance set in a butter factory.....

Anyhow, most of the butter I use comes from the local plant. Back in the 1980's we went to Spokane, and the butter blister pack that came with the meal said 'Made in New Ulm' on them, neat to find that all over.
