Lifeway Foods, Waukesha, Wis

In August of 2015 — more than a year after it started to make bottles and receive milk — Lifeway Foods celebrated the Waukesha plant’s official revival. The facility finally had begun the production of kefir. Today, the plant boasts more than 50 employees working days and shifts that vary by department. Kefir production — flavored and unflavored — runs five days a week. All kefir is packaged in the 32-ounce bottles the facility makes on-site.
