Richlands Creamery LLC plans to invest $1.7 million creating a commercial creamery in Dinwiddie County.
The project is expected to add 17 jobs during the next three years.
The creamery will be located at Richlands Dairy Farm, a commercial dairy and agritourism destination near Blackstone.
As part of this project, Richlands Creamery will purchase all its agricultural supplies from Virginia farmers, totaling nearly $1 million.
