Shamrock Farms is one of the largest family-owned dairies in the U.S., headquartered in Phoenix, AZ, and making pure, fresh milk products for 97+ years. After selecting Augusta County for its East Coast extended shelf life dairy manufacturing facility, the project was announced in March 2013. The County delivered a pad-ready site in June 2013, the first wall was up in October 2013, and the facility was operational as of October 2014. 
Shamrock Farms initially invested $50 million and created 60 new jobs. The company announced its first major expansion in 2017, comprising an additional $40 million, more than 70 jobs and securing their long-term commitment to manufacturing in Augusta County. Shamrock Farms’ products are available in over 50,000 restaurants and 36,000 grocery and convenience stores across the country.
Augusta County worked hand in hand with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership to finalize an incentive package that secured the 2018 expansion which included: $400,000 grant from the Governor’s Agriculture & Forestry Industries Development (AFID) Fund, $400,000 performance-based grant from the Virginia Investment Partnership (VIP), funding and services through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP), and sales and use tax exemptions on manufacturing equipment.
The company is a cornerstone in Mill Place Commerce Park and a strong asset to the agricultural community of the Commonwealth. As exclusive purchasers of milk through the Maryland/Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative, Shamrock Farms supports dairy farmers and provides high-tech manufacturing jobs to our citizens.
