Description
A photograph of the original location of the Spring Coulee Creamery Co-op of Okanogan , built in the spring of 1909 by local dairymen who joined together to form a creamery co-op in Spring Coulee . It was located three miles west of town . E . A. Hall was in charge of construction , and by the time the co-op hired as general manager the experienced butter maker , C . M . Davidson of Winthrop , over 150 cows were producing cream . This amount of cream translated to over 6,000 pounds of butter , and meant enough for Okanogan townspeople as well as those in outlying areas . The quality of butter produced at the Co-op was recognized and sold as far away as Wenatchee and Spokane . In 1913 , the creamery moved from its original location to one in town near Charles Ostenberg's flour mill .
