Co-packers in New York State

Dairy and beverage upstate, the biggest single market downstate.

Why manufacturing concentrates here

Upstate New York has substantial dairy processing and a growing beverage manufacturing base, with costs well below the metropolitan area and access to agricultural inputs.

The combination is unusual: a brand can manufacture upstate at reasonable cost and be in New York City the same day, which for a food or drink brand is the most valuable single market in the country.

It also has genuine depth in yoghurt and cultured dairy specifically, which grew around the Greek yoghurt boom and did not go away.

What to check before you commit

  2. Winter affects transit reliabilityPlan for weather disruption in Q1 rather than being surprised by it.
