Our Regional Vision

Organic Valley has worked hard to develop a network of producers and processing plants across the United States. Presently we have seven different regional milk cartons that proudly state that we use organic milk from that region. A distinct icon of the region (a covered bridge in New England for example) under the Organic Valley logo identifies the region’s uniqueness. These regions include Northeast Pastures, Heartland Pastures, Southwest Pastures, Rocky Mountain Pastures, Northwest Pastures and California Pastures. We have a strict policy to only use milk from the region where it is produced, which is as close to the processing plant as possible. On rare occasions, under emergency circumstances, we will bring in milk from the surrounding region or outside the region if need be, to have a continuous supply of organic milk.

Regional Plant Locations

This Dairy Plant Locations chart lists the dairy plants with whom Organic Valley partners to process our milk. We have chosen to make this information available to the public in the spirit of Transparency and to make it easier for eaters who would like to know where their milk comes from and where it is packaged. The information is for our fluid milk, half and half, whipping cream, buttermilk, eggnog, cottage cheese, sour cream, and soy. Other products such as cheese, butter, spreads, and eggs may be added in the future. Please see the chart for instructions for how to find your product’s origin.

Our regional production and distribution model is a cornerstone to Organic Valley’s multi-faceted sustainability plan, which includes reducing the distance your milk travels and supporting local businesses as often as possible. We are always exploring the feasibility of adding new regions, and we encourage you to ask your favorite retailer to stock Organic Valley's HTST regional milks if they do not already!
