Fairlife is known for its value-added dairy products, such as ultra-filtered milk, protein shakes and lactose-free milk. Within the next few years, the company will soon be producing some of these popular products at its upcoming facility in Webster, N.Y.

Earlier this month, fairlife, owned by the Coca-Cola Co., held a groundbreaking ceremony for its upcoming $650 million milk processing plant in upstate New York. The company plans to break ground in the fall and the plant is scheduled to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2025.

Governor Kathy Hochul and representatives from The Coca-Cola Company were in attendance.

“New York State is one of the best places in the country to build a business. We’re proud to welcome The Coca-Cola Company and fairlife’s dairy production facility, which represents a $650 million investment in Monroe County,” Governor Hochul said. “Coming from a family of Irish dairy farmers, this is personal to me — and soon, it will be personal to thousands of Finger Lakes residents who will have access to jobs and economic opportunity. I’m committed to making strategic investments in New York’s agribusinesses to secure our place as one of the top dairy producers in the nation, create good manufacturing jobs, and move our state’s economy forward.”

According to the company, the new facility will serve as fairlife’s flagship Northeast location and will employee approximately 250 full-time workers.

“Consumer demand for fairlife products is at an all-time high, and a new production facility will allow us to significantly increase capacity and deliver fairlife to even more households across the country,” said Tim Doelman, chief executive officer of fairlife. “As we continue to grow in the Northeast, Webster’s proximity and access to best-in-class dairy farmers make it an excellent location to support our next phase of growth in the region and beyond.”

With dairy being one of the top ag commodities produced in the Empire state, the new facility will provide serve as an additional place for producers to go with their milk.

“We have over 3,000 dairy farmers here, and this is a lifeline for them as well, this gives them hope, and I believe in them,” said Hochul. “I’ve toured so many dairy farms around the state, this is such a big deal to them as well.”

Currently, fairlife has plants located in the U.S.:

Goodyear, Arizona
Dexter, New Mexico
Coopersville, Michigan
Fair Oaks, Indiana
