Abstract:

The Maola Milk & Ice Cream Company started in 1935. Contemporary milk companies like Coble and Pine State have either gone out of business or been absorbed by conglomerates. At age 66, Maola, the state's last independent dairy, is going strong into the 21st century. The dairy has a workforce of 500 statewide, and in 2000 completed a $10 million expansion at its New Bern plant.
