Beginning of Butter Making in Polk County
K C Eldridge, manager of Independence Creamery, transformed Polk County dairy farming through bold enterprise. He attracted farmers, secured pledges for 175 cows, and built a thriving creamery that turned 100 pounds of butter daily, now about 2400 pounds. Eldridge pays farmers promptly, buys cows on merit, and ships to top markets, expanding dairy across Oregon counties.
