Osceola Cheese

Established in 1944, Osceola Cheese, Company originated in downtown Osceola for what is now City Hall, and was then called Riverview Cheese. In 1946 there was a new building built on the north side of the river to help facilitate the growth of the cheese plant. It continued to grow and at one time was using over a thousand dairy farms to help supply the company with milk. At that time there were 15 trucks on the roads 24 hours a day collecting the milk from the dairy farmers. In the mid sixties there was talk of Truman Lake, and many other changes were occurring in the area too, the cheese company started making plans to move up on the hill.  In 1968 when Truman Lake started to develop they moved the cheese company up to the present location and changed the name of the company to Osceola Cheese and became a retail outlet.  In the 70's a car wash was added and then shortly after that a gas station was also added. In 1987 the company expanded again and the Ewe's In The Country gift shop was established.  We have continually grown and expanded the operation over the last few years to help facilitate all the bus traffic that has occurred since the big boom of Branson. The company now has over 80 flavors of cheeses, many souvenir items, a lovely gift and Christian bookstore, 8 public restrooms, and a two acre parking lot for the customers convenience.
