America's Oldest Cheesemaker Seeks New Stewardship
HEALDVILLE, Vt., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowley Cheese, America's oldest continuously operating cheesemaker, is seeking new ownership. A true heritage brand, Crowley traces its cheesemaking roots in Healdville, Vermont to the late 1700s, with commercial production beginning in 1824. Since then, it has operated just a few hundred feet from its original site—first in the Crowley family's farmhouse kitchen, and since 1882, in its now-iconic cheese factory. Today, the Crowley Cheese Factory stands as the oldest remaining cheese factory in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A beloved Vermont destination, it draws visitors year-round to witness traditional cheesemaking firsthand, tour the preserved factory, and sample its celebrated cheeses. True to its origins, Crowley still produces its signature handcrafted raw milk cheddar using the same time-honored recipe that has earned acclaim around the world. For much of the 20th century, the local post office operated out of the Crowley Farm due to the sheer volume of cheese shipments leaving for global destinations. Today, Crowley continues to ship nationwide and can be found in select retailers across Vermont and the Northeast. While the recipe has remained unchanged, Crowley's product line has expanded with six different aging levels and a dozen flavored varieties. In addition to its classic Holstein-based cheddar, Crowley now also produces cheese using A2 Jersey cow milk. Since 2009, Galen and Jill Jones have lovingly owned and operated Crowley Cheese. Now preparing for retirement, they are seeking the next passionate steward to carry the legacy forward. "It's been a privilege to be part of this incredible tradition," says Galen Jones. "Preserving the integrity of Crowley's recipe and the authenticity of its historic factory has always guided our work. But it's time for fresh leadership to shepherd Crowley into its third century. With so much potential for growth, we believe the best chapters are still ahead." Interested parties are encouraged to contact the owners directly to learn more about this rare opportunity to steward a living piece of American food history.

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq little changed amid renewed tariff threats, Boeing stock weighs on Dow
US stocks were little changedon Thursday as President Trump again urged the Fed for jumbo rate cut amid easing inflation pressures despite despite "take it or leave it" tariff threats on trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) hovered near the flatline, as component Boeing (BA) slumped in the wake of a deadly plane crash in India. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) gained roughly 0.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also rose about 0.1%. President Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a "numbskull." "All he has to do is lower it," said Trump. Stocks edged higher after the S&P 500 (^GSPC) snapped this week's run of wins. Investors are adding growing tensions in the Middle East to worries over Trump's trade policy, such as the fragility of the US-China detente. The US dollar sank to its lowest level in three years as fresh price data showed a so-far mild impact from Trump's tariff policies, as wholesale inflation increased less than economists expected. The report came after the consumer counterpart showed an easing in price pressures in the wake of Trump's "reciprocal" tariff hikes in April. Further hints that tariffs are sparing inflation could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot ahead of its policy meeting next week. Bets on interest-rate cuts this year have mounted, but analysts expect officials to maintain their wait-and-see approach to economic data and policy decisions, with September seen as the most likely spot to resume rate cuts. While investor focus is shifting back to the Fed, Wall Street is still closely following the latest twists and turns in Trump's tariff policy in the hunt for clarity. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs US trading partners will get letters within a week or two to set their unilateral tariff rates, Trump reiterated on Wednesday, renewing the threat of no-deal hikes. But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress it's "highly likely" that countries in trade negotiations with the US will see an extension of the 90-day tariff pause, currently set to expire July 9. President Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The president spoke at the signing of a resolution targeting California's plan to phase-out gas powered vehicles by 2035. Trump urged Powell to cut rates by 1 percentage point in order for the cost of short-term debt to go down, an ask he's made before on social media. "All he has to do is lower it," said Trump. The President reiterated he won't fire Powell, even though he disagrees with his policy and inflation has not be trending higher. "I'm not going to fire him", said Trump. "He was in my office a couple of days ago," said Trump. "I told him... cut your rates now," said Trump. "Lets say there was inflation a year from now, raise your rates — I don't mind." Shares of German biopharmaceutical CureVac (CVAC) soared roughly 39% after its domestic rival BioNTech (BNTX) announced it would acquire the company in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $1.25 billion. The acquisition is aimed at strengthening BioNTech's development of mRNA-based cancer therapies. The US dollar ( sank to its lowest level in three years after the Producer Price Index came in below expectations, showing a milder than expected impact from shifting US trade policy. The dollar against a basket of currencies hovered below 98, its lowest level since 2022. Year to date, the index is down more than 9%. Investors sold greenbacks as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated and Trump renewed tariff threats against US trading partners. US wholesale prices rose modestly last month, a sign that inflationary pressures remain contained. Wednesday's CPI report also pointed to contained inflation, increasing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton reports: Read more here. Oracle (ORCL) shares jumped 10% early Thursday after the company's fiscal fourth quarter results topped Wall Street's expectations. Oracle's adjusted revenue of $15.9 billion was ahead of the projected $15.6 billion, while its earnings per share of $1.70 surpassed the expected $1.64. The company raised its annual revenue forecast, as it expects strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. "What is clear is that more customers will use the Oracle database to leverage AI," CEO Safra Ada Catz told analysts in a call after the market close Wednesday. "It's been a long wait for people who own the stock because ... they [Oracle] missed the last two quarters, both on the top and the bottom line, despite the fact that they were booking an enormous amount of business," Citizens head of technology equity research Pat Walravens told Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman on Market Domination Overtime. Analysts at UBS, Cantor Fitzgerald, Deutsche Bank, KeyBanc, and Melius Research raised their price targets on the stock to as high as $240 on Thursday. US stocks pulled back on Thursday as President Trump renewed his threat to impose "take it or leave it" tariffs on trading partners, while Boeing (BA) shares sank in the wake of a deadly crash in India. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell roughly 0.4%, with component Boeing slumping after the crash of an Air India flight involving a Dreamliner jet. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also moved 0.3% lower. US trading partners will get letters soon within a week or two that will set their unilateral tariff rates, Trump reiterated on Wednesday. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits remained at their highest level in eight months during the first full week of June while the number of Americans filing for unemployment insurance on an ongoing basis reached the highest level since November 2021 as the US labor market continues to show signs of slowing. Data from the Department of Labor released Thursday morning showed 248,000 initial jobless claims were filed in the week ending June 7, flat from the week prior and above economists' expectations for 242,000. Meanwhile, 1.956 million continuing claims were filed, up from 1.902 million the week prior and the highest level seen since November 2021. Economists see an increase in continuing claims as a sign that those out of work are taking longer to find new jobs. Chime is set to debut on the Nasdaq later today under the ticker symbol CHYM. The digital bank raised $864 million in its IPO, and priced shares at $27 each for a valuation of $11.6 billion. Chime's entrance in the public markets has been viewed as another indicator of whether the IPO market is thawing after a freeze due to tariff-induced uncertainty. Other recent go-publics, like stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) and Nvidia-backed CoreWeave (CRWV), saw massive rallies after their IPOs. As my colleague Josh Schafer wrote yesterday, the largest tech stocks are once again leading the market higher, and that enthusiasm has trickled down to newly issued public offerings.

Air India confirmed the plane, which was headed to Gatwick Airport in the UK, crashed in a civilian area near the airport, but has not specified if there are any fatalities. It is still not clear what caused the crash. According to Reuters, Boeing confirmed it was aware of the crash and was working to gather more information.

New COO brings 30 years of leadership to growing private aviation firm
Story Highlights Fast-growing Airshare hires a COO. Suzanne Williams spent the past 10 years at BarkleyOKRP, most recently as COO and CFO. Airshare is a 2025 Champions of Business honoree. From the Kansas City Business Journal. Airshare has hired Suzanne Williams as its new COO. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Airshare is one of the largest private aviation companies in the U.S., operating a fleet of more than 100 aircraft from coast to coast. Founded in 2000, the company offers aircraft management, fractional ownership, EMBARK jet cards and charter services. Airshare saw revenue growth of 26.9% from 2021 to 2023, reaching $210.15 million in revenue for 2023. Last year, it reported $371.8 million in revenue. Williams brings more than 30 years of experience to Airshare, where she started last month. She spent the past 10 years at BarkleyOKRP, most recently as COO and CFO. Before that, she spent 21 years in a wide variety of leadership positions at Sprint, mainly in auditing, but last worked as the vice president of planning and analysis. For the past year and a half, Williams has been a board member for Kansas City-based Centric Construction Inc. 'We are thrilled to hire someone as talented as Suzanne and anticipate her making an immediate impact in many areas of our business,' Airshare CEO John Owen said. 'This is a vital role within our growth plans; therefore, we spent considerable time making sure we found the right person. I'm confident she will be a tremendous asset for us.' At Airshare, Williams will lead the finance, legal, human resources and IT departments. She also will be a member of the executive leadership team, reporting to Owen, and joined Airshare's board. Airshare is a 2025 Champions of Business honoree. Although she doesn't have any experience in the aviation industry, Williams said said her role shares a lot of similarities to work she has done in the past. Both Airshare and BarkleyOKRP are people businesses, and that will translate pretty quickly. 'I was looking for a new challenge, and it just worked out this way,' she said. 'Airshare has a great reputation. They've done a lot of M&A on both the buy and sell side the last couple of years, so all that definitely gets me excited to be a part of the very experienced team Airshare has developed.' Williams said she spent her first week on a plane, visiting all of the Airshare hangars and facilities nationwide with the executive team and asking a million questions. 'I learned quite a bit, just being basically locked in a plane with them for three days,' Williams said. 'We had a one-day, off-site executive meeting to really talk about the company's priorities. Just getting to know John (Owen) and the lead team, and building those relationships, made a fantastic first week. That really carried into the next few weeks to help me get up the learning curve quicker. So it was a great way to start.'
