The company was formed as a raw milk trading business in 2002 with the merger of [[The Milk Group]] and [[Zenith Milk]]. Dairy Farmers of Britain is the UK's leading dairy farmers' co-operative, marketing almost 2 billion [[litre]]s of milk per year from more than 3,250 member farms. In 2004, DFoB became the third largest milk processor in the UK, processing over 1.35 billion litres of milk each year into 600 different dairy products, by purchasing [[Associated Co-operative Creameries]] from the Co-operative Group. Key products include a branded range of fresh milk, award winning cheeses in the Cadog range, and many other products such as butter, cream and milk powder. In April 2007, it announced the intention to cease production at its creamery in [[Whitby]], North Yorkshire. ==External links== *[http://www.dfob.co.uk/ Official website] [[Category:Agricultural marketing cooperatives]] [[Category:Co-operatives of the United Kingdom]] [[Category:Dairy products companies]] [[Category:Companies based in Cheshire]]
