No, we got to see the organic eggs. There were only a couple million of them. The facility could hold tens of millions, IRRC.

You haven't lived until you've seen the equipment to stack pallets of eggs on racks 30ft high.

I don't think they let the public into the cheese repository. You have to go downwind of the Kraft plant to verify the actual existence of said cheese.

I worked there in a place called KBC, one of the many underground buildings down there. Literally just means “Kraft Bulk Cheese”, but it’s not actually owned by Kraft. I worked there for 6 months and it was a stupid job. The place was kinda cool to drive around in for a minute. It’s huge. But it’s full of semis and exhaust.

there’s warehouses, and cheese. but something a lot of people don’t know, there’s a ton of servers for some local businesses in there. with the underground being a lower temperature, and being enclosed in rock, it’s easier to control the climate and humidity to ensure those servers last a long time

I chaperoned one of my kids' field trips there last year.

It's impressively large, and if you're into industrial goings-on, it's pretty interesting.

Short feature list: Extremely seismically and temperature stable, miles and miles of roads, railroad access, server farms out the ass, a strategic national cheese stockpile, and millions of eggs, plus a lot of unmarked buildings holding everything from paper records to the Ark of the Covenant, for all that anybody knows.

Oh, and they have to rent one part, the land under 65 is owned by the government, and the facility is on both sides of the highway.

TL;DR: Underground warehouses, if you're into that.
