According to the story on PilotOnline, it appears the entire operation is shutting down.

They still have a store in Va. Beach, right?

I always thought it was important to support food producers within the radius of 100 miles from our home even if we had to pay more. Read any of Michael Pollan’s work and you will become a believer in how we need to change our food production: http://www.michaelpollan.com/write.php

I’m surprised Yoder held out this long.

Hopefully the employees and owners of Yoder Dairies can quickly find employment with a company that provides a positive contribution to the community.
