Evansville, IN – According to the statement, the DBIA reportedly awarded 41 grants totaling nearly $4 million to farmstead operations and dairy processing businesses across the Midwest.
The funding awarded to the Kuehnert’s will be used to create a cheese curd manufacturing facility on their farm.
Kuehnert Dairy has been a family owned and operated farm for over 125 years in Allen county.
They milk over 300 cows, have an agritourism operation and, in early 2024, will open an on-farm retail site. Kuehnert was also the 2019 Indy 500 Milkman.
This funding will be used to purchase cheese making equipment, product packaging and marketing and promotion services.
