Northwest

Our vision is regional—regional, organic, and sustainable.
Supporting organic farmers regionally gives our customers the delicious, high-quality, fresh product they enjoy. Regional, organic production builds the local economy and allows rural communities to protect the environment in which their children are raised.

You can enjoy delicious organic milk, fruit and other Organic Valley foods while supporting farmers, boosting local economies, and protecting land and resources near you. Meet a few of the farmer-owners of the Organic Valley co-op in the Pacific Northwest.
