Hampden Creamery , the property of the Taieri and Peninsula Milk Supply Company, Ltd., occupies a site on the main road at Hampden. The building is of wood and was erected in 1890 by the New Zealand Dairy Supply Company, the present company having purchased it in 1896. The creamery is equipped with two De Laval separators, and the plant is worked by a five horse-power Tangye engine. About ninety farmers supply milk, and about 1000 gallons are put through daily.
