History

Established in 1982.

In 1982, Steve Stettler was hired as Cheesemaker and

Co-​op manager for Decatur Swiss. Decatur Dairy, Inc. was

created by Steve and Glennette Stettler to manufacture and

sell cheese for the Co-​op. In 2000, 7,200 square feet were

added to the factory creating an additional make room, a

new packaging room and cooler. Larger silos were added

for additional milk storage and automated vats were

installed in 2005 to further advance the make procedure in

the factory.

There are currently 70+ Co-​op members, ranging

throughout Green, Rock, and Lafayette Counties. Steve

Stettler is a Wisconsin Master Cheesemaker who has

developed several new cheeses for the Co-​op including a

European style Havarti, a Swiss-​lace cheese called Stettler

Swiss and a Colby-​Swiss marbled cheese. Decatur Swiss

also produces Muenster, Brick, Farmers Cheese, Colby

Longhorn, Butterkase and Queso Blanco. Decatur has won

U.S. and World Cheese Contest awards, and 3 Grand Champion of Cheese Days Awards.
