Lloyd Miller
General Manager
After forty years living away from his childhood home of New England, Lloyd has recently returned to apply his hard-earned skills to the operations of The Old Creamery Cooperative of Cummington, Massachusetts. With twenty years experience managing small businesses in the challenging commercial landscape of New Orleans, Lloyd’s approach to operational management might best be described as holistic. From historic music venues like Preservation Hall, to iconic family-run taverns like Molly’s At The Market, to the interactive musical cabaret gameshow of The New Orleans Bingo! Show, Miller’s track record of successfully helping organically grown enterprises achieve success through good sense and better organization led to the execution of his own successful business from 2014 through 2020. Today, Lloyd resides with his family on the side of a steep hill in North Adams where his wife, two daughters, and assorted pets are greatly enjoying life above sea level.

Corinne Sharkey
Bookkeeping Liaison
Corinne Sharkey (“Renie”) has worked at the Creamery before, from 2013 – 2018, doing membership, deposits-prep, and label-making for just a few hours each week. Now, she does light bookkeeping. At home, you’ll find her outside stacking wood, moving rocks, or plucking undesired plants from among her rock-gardens. The spiral garden is becoming a clover haven that features other semi-wild plants like yarrow, plantains, St. John’s wort, and cow’s vetch. She says that in the wintertime, she does light carpentry and even some sewing.
