The History of Hope Creamery

In a nutshell--there has been a creamery in the current building since 1919.  It has changed hands over time, but the main goal has always been to make butter.  In by-gone days they also have separated the milk from the cream and sold buttermilk.  Another constant for the past 50 years has been the buttermaker Eugene (Gene) Kruckeberg. For the past 10 years he has been joined by buttermaker Jay Logan--together they make a winning butter making team!
