The Grafton Cooperative Cheese Company was founded in 1892 by dairy farmers who gathered together in a cooperative to make their surplus raw milk into cheese. In the days before refrigeration, there were many such cooperatives in rural agricultural communities and an abundance of fresh, creamy milk was turned into a food that could be stored for a longer period of time.
