The Creamery at 165 South 500 West in Beaver is the retail and dining face of a dairy operation that has been supplying cheese to Beaver County since 1952, when local farmers built a processing plant that became a hidden gem for cheese curds sought out by travelers from Salt Lake and Las Vegas alike. The dairy plant itself is owned by Dairy Farmers of America members — family farm-owners who live within twenty miles of the facility and supply its milk. The Creamery opened in 2018 as a grand-format expansion of the original roadside cheese store: a full educational-experience building with a kitchen-inspired café menu, specialty cheeses (including the famous curds, of which they sell two to three thousand pounds on peak-season weekends), signature ice cream, and a gift section. The Utah Farm Bureau featured it as a farm-inspired food stop that demonstrates what rural agricultural heritage can look like when it's presented rather than hidden. For Beaver County — which has no national chains of comparable scale — The Creamery is both an economic anchor and a regional identity statement.
