A cooperative owned by dairy farmers, for dairy farmers

As a farmer-owned cooperative, everything we do is for our farmer-owners. We move their milk from farm to table, support their farms, advocate for legislative interests, and help ensure they can pass their farms — and legacies — on to the next generation.
