Complete Cheese Creamery for Sale in Roopville, GA.

We are selling our cheese business that we have operated since 2010 and are looking forward to retirement. Our hope is that another couple or family will take the reins and make it bigger, smaller, or just the right size to fit their lifestyle and dreams. With the one exception of paying a friend to “creamery sit” while we are away on trips, only the two of us have been needed to accomplish all duties, and we have not hired or used volunteers. Having been blessed beyond measure making classic style fresh and aged cheeses for 14 years, we sell to markets, brick and mortar stores, CSA’s, a major Atlanta distributor, and direct from our creamery porch self-serve cooler. Jeff and Karen Green, owners/partners.
