Organic Valley

We're really going to miss our summer interns. Have a great semester, all! 🤠 https://lnkd.in/g4K53Dp5 #lifeatorganicvalley #internship #funplacetowork

A new The Minnesota Star Tribune article highlights a vital truth: small family farms are the backbone of rural communities, and organic dairy farming is crucial to their survival. At Organic Valley, we’re proud to be part of the solution. Farms like the Hass family's in Westby, Wisconsin, have found stability through organic practices, offering a lifeline where conventional dairies struggle. By choosing small family farms, they thrive and sustain the schools, businesses, and people that keep rural America vibrant. As our CEO Jeff Frank says, “When family farms succeed, so do our communities.” We’re excited to welcome 100 new farmers to the Organic Valley family this year, each helping ensure a bright future for rural America. Together, we’re not just saving farms but revitalizing our heartland.

Our CEO, Jeff Frank, is committed to supporting small family farms and fostering sustainability in the dairy industry. Now more than ever, consumers want to know where their food comes from and are willing to pay more for sustainably sourced, organic products. Under Jeff's leadership, Organic Valley is dedicated to preserving these vital agricultural mainstays. Family farms are disappearing at an alarming rate. The U.S. Census of Agriculture reports a loss of 142,000 family farms between 2017 and 2022. Without intervention, they may be gone by 2060.

Organic Valley's mission is to save small family farms -- but they can't all be saved. After a lifetime of farming and trying several means to receive a pay price for his milk that could sustain his family of seven, an Iowa man had two choices: - Quit milking cows and find work off the farm. - Find other options for selling milk to keep his family farm alive. Time ran out. Tough choices had to be made—NOW. Toby Miller (and his high-spirited children) share their story of farming, feelings of defeat, and opportunities. The story starts in a pea field... https://lnkd.in/ghfuAr5F #perseverance #smallfamilyfarms
