Organic Valley Farms Coop believes it's a simple truth: The earth's most delicious, most healthful foods are made when farmers work in harmony with nature. That's how this farmer-owned co-op produces organic milk, organic cheese, organic butter, organic eggs, organic juice, organic soy milk, organic produce, and organic meats. Working with nature is what inspired the original seven farmers to form an organic farming cooperative in 1988. Today organic Valley's membership has grown to 1326 family farms, and their high standards shine through in delicious, award-winning, certified organic foods.

In addition to O.V's legacy of community involvement and environmental stewardship, in 2008 Organic Valley Farms became the first Pilot Program for the SBA Baseline Practices for Sustainability. For more information on Organic Valley click the logo on the left.
