To celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of its facilities, Shamrock Farms announced a major investment in its production capabilities. This will be the second significant expansion to the Augusta County, Virginia, facility.
"We're committed to growth at Shamrock Farms, and this expansion is the latest milestone in our long history of strategic national brand growth," said Devon McClelland, President of Shamrock Farms. "By continuing to evolve our product lines, facilities, and technology, we're laying the groundwork for future success and our ability to serve quality products Shamrock customers know and love."
This investment comes at a crucial time as Shamrock Farms looks to meet rising consumer demand and national distribution needs.
According to a press release, the company is investing $59 million dollars into the project. This includes adding additional equipment, cold storage space, and a new production filling line.
Shamrock Farms noted that it will receive a $600,000 performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Performance Grant and a $300,000 grant from the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund, administered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Expected to be completed by 2028, the expansion is a continued investment in the long-term economic development of Augusta County and local Virginia dairy farmers.
