Moo-ve success By Corey Everitt Gippsland Jersey has moved to Pakenham marking a significant expansion in the family-owned business which will bring the ‘best in Aus’ dairy right next door. Starting and formerly based in Lakes Entrance, the diary business moved their production to the very precipice of Metro Melbourne
and Gippsland to settle in Pakenham. The move was to cater to an expanded production and to ease the burden on logistics. Started by owners Sallie Jones and Steve Ronalds just under a decade ago, the opportunity comes with a larger base of local support that will allow them to open their own on-site cafe to sell their goods direct.
Despite the 250km move, they are still firm Gippslanders. “Gippsland will always be our heartland,” Sallie said. “We’re really excited about it, especially having a shop front will be great for people to get goods with factory prices, as well as a great coffee and toastie.”
Poetically, Gippsland Jersey has moved into the old Europa Cheese factory on Purton Road where they will continue to ensure quality dairy products are shipped from its doors. To honour the legacy that dates back over 50 years, they will be taking on some of the factory’s old cheese recipes. Continued page 2
