Franklin Foods Closes, Cheese Startup Takes Over

Franklin Foods is closing its Enosburg Falls plant this summer, sending shockwaves through the community—but there’s a twist: a new cheese company, Franklin County Cheese, is already set to move in this fall. Led by the former plant manager and backed by local and state support, the new venture will focus on specialty and plant-based cream cheese, promising at least 20 new jobs. While the loss of Franklin Foods stings, this pivot offers hope for local resilience and a brighter manufacturing future right where it all began.
