Abstract:

Ashe County Cheese is the state's only cheese factory. Located in West Jefferson, it has produced quality cheese since 1930. Kraft Corp. started the company, and the conglomerate sold it in 1975. Several owners ran the company before Wisconsin-based Newberg Corners Cheese, Inc. purchased it in 1994.
