Our Farmers | Organic Valley

Organic Valley is not a corporation. We’re a cooperative. Owned and run by farmers who grow food, who milk cows, and who bring you your cheese. Which means instead of arguing over how to grow profits, we’re discussing what’s best for our farms, our families and our food.

From field to table, food is personal.

Our 1,600 family farmers are the best at what they do, and they're passionate about doing it–but it's not always easy.

We're a family of farmers.

Back in the 1980s, family farms were dying off. We set out to change that, and three decades later, we're still leading the comeback of the American family farm.
