A new and exciting historical display is on view at the Lerderderg Library. The Bacchus Marsh Histori- cal Society had the display on show in time to coincide with last weekend’s Straw- berries and Cherries festival. ‘The Dairy Industry That Was’ showcases a history of Bacchus Marsh dairy farms, including the four main factories in the area. Society vice-president, Chris Bronchinetti said the factories used to produce a number of different dairy products including butter, casein and condensed, pro- cessed, skim, and pasteur- ised milk. “For about 80 years dairy- ing was the predominant local industry, with 400 dair- ies supplying milk, so [the display] will touch on some of those farms and some of the cattle,” she said. ‘The Dairy Industry That Was’ is on display by the
