Support our Cooperative and our Mission

There’s a place where trees line lush green pastures and you can see cows roaming and grazing. A caretaker, who has devoted their life to the health and welfare of animals and the earth, watches over them. You might be imagining a place just like Kelly Placke’s farm on the day this photograph was taken.

Kelly is an Organic Valley farmer in Wisconsin and a farmer-member of CROPP Cooperative. And there are 1,800 more farmer-members just like her. We are the largest independent, organic, farmer-owned co-op in the country—and we want to show you a new way to support our mission and our cooperative.

It’s pretty simple: Our mission is to create a stable economic model for organic farmers. We do that by marketing the Organic Valley products you see on your grocery store shelves. And while we are owned by farmers and here to support the livelihoods of farmers like Kelly, we are supported by consumers and investors who believe in what we do.

They believe in never spraying toxic synthetic pesticides or herbicides on crops and open pastures. They like the fact that the facilities we own are 100% renewably powered. They believe in a sustainable approach to food and farming that builds life outside and in the soil. They even believe that a group of small family farms can change the world through organic agriculture.
