Organic Valley, the leading organic farmer-owned cooperative in the nation, celebrates National Dairy Month by welcoming over 100 new family farms into its fold in the first few months of 2024. By expanding its membership and supply chain, Organic Valley is working to reverse the national trend of farm loss by safeguarding small organic family farms.
The new farmer-owners hail from various states including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri, and Iowa. These families are passionate about organic farming, soil health, animal care, and nutritious food, and are dedicated to revolutionizing the food system alongside Organic Valley.
Toby Miller, a farmer from Iowa, emphasizes the importance of Organic Valley in providing a stable market for his milk and keeping chemicals off the land. He believes that organic farming is better for everything, showcasing the cooperative’s commitment to promoting sustainable and ethical agricultural practices.
As the largest organic farmer-owned cooperative in the nation, Organic Valley continues to grow its impact by protecting over 400,000 acres of organic farmland and expanding the market for ethically sourced organic products.
