"We believe in working with the organic aspect—as natural as possible. You can't improve on mother nature."

Frank is a third-generation dairy farmer, and the Coelhos have owned their present farm since 1982. They were first certified organic in 1999.

The Azevedo farming pedigree goes back to Adam's grandfather who started farming the same land in 1952, a few years after emigrating from Portugal.

“This dairy is really all about bringing a new paradigm into the curriculum,” Professor Daley says. “Organic agriculture enhances the survival of family farms.”

Silveira Family

"We want to be self-sustaining," Victor says. "Instead of increasing the production per cow, we are thinking of producing happier, longer-living cows."

John Boere

In the spring of 1999, John Boere decided to transition to organic for the same reason a lot of Organic Valley farmers do: other Organic Valley farmers happened to stop by his farm because they noticed his cows were out on grass.

Travis and Allison Cardoza

“My main focus is grazing as much as I can. A lot of the U.S. is difficult for grazing because of weather, but I think we're privileged here in California to have good grazing conditions,” Travis says.
