Now more than ever, consumers want assurances that their food is safe. The Gold Standard Dairy Program was created to proactively address the concerns of consumers, retailers and processors who are interested in how food is produced. This on-farm audit assesses areas including animal care and wellness, environmental stewardship, employee training, and milk safety and quality.
The Gold Standard Dairy Program also incorporates the National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) program. FARM gives the industry a consistent, national standard in the area of animal care and wellness.
