Creamery & Dairy Business For Sale
(with Caramel/Jam production and Bakery options)
updated 5/2024
Dayspring Dairy is Alabama’s only sheep dairy and maker of award-winning sheep milk cheeses, dulce de leche sheep milk caramels, jams/fruit butters, and cookies for over a decade. This is an amazing opportunity to purchase everything needed for a micro dairy and creamery to produce fresh cheeses along with recipes, know-how, and support to help you succeed. We expanded into dulce de leche caramel in 2017 and shortbread cookies in 2021 for even more diversity and profitability in wholesale revenue channels. The entire farm (residence and dairy/creamery complex & barn) are also available for purchase for someone desiring a turnkey business opportunity. Email us at info@dayspringdairy.com or call (205) 677-5800 for further details and pricing.
