BANDON — Anticipation filled the air as more than 400 people gathered Wednesday afternoon to welcome the new Face Rock Creamery.
“This is a 14-month project, and we completed it in six months and 15 days,” said Daniel Graham, construction supervisor and vice president. Graham listed and thanked all the local contractors who were hired for the project.
The Bandon Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting, and the creamery treated visitors to food outside the facility as well as cheese samples inside. People tasted fresh “squeaky” cheese curds in multiple styles: plain and spicy three pepper, Face Rock Monterey Jack, In Your Face cheddar, spicy three-pepper cheddar, Vampire Slayer garlic cheddar and a special “Grand Opening cheddar.” High-end cultured butter will be available soon.
Creamery President Greg Drobot praised the facility and cheese maker Brad Sinko,wholesale adidas clothing nz.
“We tried to get the best facility to make the best cheese, and I think we have one of the best cheese makers,adidas adipure golf shoes 12, if not the best, here,outlet stores for vans shoes,” Drobot said. “Bandon cheese is going to be known as some of the best cheese in the world.”
Drobot added that the creamery wouldn’t be in Bandon without the support of many people and the encouragement of the public.
“It was a lot of work — it’s been over two years in the making and with a lot of ups and downs,mens adidas climacool shoes,” he said.
Drobot used his own and private money to finance the $2.2 million, 8,000-square-foot facility. The city is the creamery’s landlord and paid to build public restrooms next-door.
Drobot said he was able to fund the venture because of loans from Craft3,y3 adidas, the Port of Bandon Economic Development Fund,adidas adizero basketball shoes kids, the Oregon Business Development Fund and Coos Curry Douglas Development Corp.
“There was a lot of teamwork to get this together,” he said.
Mayor Mary Schamehorn agreed.
“It was a great public-private partnership between Greg and the city’s urban renewal agency,ladies adidas golf shoes uk,” Schamehorn said. “I think it’s going to be a big boost for Bandon.”
Cheese production, once famous in Bandon,adidas 2010 powerband 3.0 golf shoes, halted in 2000,outlet malls in ohio, a couple of years after the Tillamook County Creamery Association bought the former factory. The building was demolished in 2002.
Two years ago,2013 adidas golf shoes, the city bought the lot from Tillamook using urban renewal money with the idea they could attract a developer to build a new cheese factory.
After groundbreaking in August and construction beginning in October, Drobot announced he had hired Brad Sinko,mens adidas climacool running shoes, son of former Bandon cheese factory owner Joe Sinko, as head cheese maker. The younger Sinko began his career at his father’s factory and made a name for himself at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese in Seattle’s Pike Place Market. He has won major awards for his cheese,mens adidas climacool socks, an accomplishment Drobot predicts will continue at Face Rock.
