Richmond, VA – According to the state officials, this space will allow for the development of new products, additional production capacity, and warehouse space.
In addition, Bates Family Farm will also construct a new creamery to produce food products, bottled goat milk and artisan cheeses, for wholesale and retail distribution.
Bates Family Farm is committed to purchasing 100% of all expected agricultural products from Virginia, an increase of more than $2 million over the next three years as a result of this expansion.
Shannon and Joeph Bates established Bates Family Farm in Russell County in 2013.
The company produces a full line of goat milk-based skincare products to include soap, lotion, lip balm, and body cream, that are sold in over 1,000 retail stores and specialty shops across the U.S.
