Owners of Thomas Dairy, in Rutland, announced in a Facebook post that it will close at the end of the month because the pandemic hit them hard and the future remains uncertain.
The dairy owners said they had less business from the traffic that colleges, restaurants and tourism would usually bring in.
Fifth generation co-owner Abby Thomas says including increased competition from organic and nut milks, and the facilities are in need of expensive upgrades also played a role.
The owners tried selling the dairy, but they were unsuccessful.
