All of our Dairy Farmers take great pride in producing a product for consumers that is wholesome and nutritious. In
addition they are always improving in the care and well being of their animals. Other technologies in recent years have
improved production per cow.
This past year we were able to work with local FFA, 4-H, school and church organizations in providing cheese
products for their fundraisers. Lowville Producers is also involved with The Dairy Industry Building Cheese Auction
held during the Lewis County Fair and with the Dairy Princess program when possible.
Milk hauling is done by a very dedicated group of owners/drivers; Tony Roy, Rob Noftsier, Tim Petrus, Justin Mahar,
Keith Gerow and John Nortz. Drivers include Jason Peebles, Alex Ross, Jeff Dohrn, Troy Beyer, Connor Cavanaugh,
and Rick Stocking. Rain, snow, sleet, hail or subzero temperatures, the milk always gets picked up and delivered to the
plants.
Our Milk Testing Laboratory staff includes Shane Hoag, Goldie Taylor, Page Bacon, Emily Farney and Loretta
O’80ôConnor. Bill Dosztan is the Inspector/Fieldperson. Our Store staff includes Lynn Cole, Christine Hooper, Ellon
Grunert, and Janet Manzer. Our Office staff includes Office Manager, Jamie Marolf and Milk Accountant, Kari
Millard. Brien Tabolt serves as the General Manger.
The Cheese and Farm Supply Store are open to the public Monday - Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We have over 75
varieties of flavored, competitively priced New York and Regional Cheeses. We also stock Farm Supply items ranging
from Cleaners, Acids, and Sanitizers to Shovels, Forks and Towels along with hundreds of other Farm and Barn
Supplies.
Lady LeWinDa Milkzalot invites you to stop in and see why the Lowville Producers Cheese Store is the best kept
secret in the North Country. Remember, when you shop with us 100% of your dollar stays local and you are truly

All of our Dairy Farmers take great pride in producing a product for consumers that is wholesome and nutritious. In
addition they are always improving in the care and well being of their animals. Other technologies in recent years have
improved production per cow.
This past year we were able to work with local FFA, 4-H, school and church organizations in providing cheese
products for their fundraisers. Lowville Producers is also involved with The Dairy Industry Building Cheese Auction
held during the Lewis County Fair and with the Dairy Princess program when possible.
Milk hauling is done by a very dedicated group of owners/drivers; Tony Roy, Rob Noftsier, Tim Petrus, Justin Mahar,
Keith Gerow and John Nortz. Drivers include Jason Peebles, Alex Ross, Jeff Dohrn, Troy Beyer, Connor Cavanaugh,
and Rick Stocking. Rain, snow, sleet, hail or subzero temperatures, the milk always gets picked up and delivered to the
plants.
Our Milk Testing Laboratory staff includes Shane Hoag, Goldie Taylor, Page Bacon, Emily Farney and Loretta
O’80ôConnor. Bill Dosztan is the Inspector/Fieldperson. Our Store staff includes Lynn Cole, Christine Hooper, Ellon
Grunert, and Janet Manzer. Our Office staff includes Office Manager, Jamie Marolf and Milk Accountant, Kari
Millard. Brien Tabolt serves as the General Manger.
The Cheese and Farm Supply Store are open to the public Monday - Saturday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. We have over 75

from Cleaners, Acids, and Sanitizers to Shovels, Forks and Towels along with hundreds of other Farm and Barn
