A group of dairy farmers in the province is one step closer to producing butter in western Newfoundland. We spoke with one of them

It's been years in the works, but a secondary processing plant for milk could soon break ground in western Newfoundland. Plans for the facility passed the environmental assessment process on March 31. The company behind it is called The Real Dairy Company of Newfoundland, which is made up of 11 local dairy farmers and an Irish dairy company. The The Real Dairy Company plans to process raw milk to make butter and skim milk powder at a facility to be built in Deer Lake. Brent Chaffey is a dairy farmer in Bay St. George South and one of the farmers involved in the company.
