Driving Dairy Success
In 2019, our member farms pumped over $70 million dollars into the local economy in direct milk sales. Six milk trucks pick up at the farms with each truck hauling 4 loads each day. Milk hauling is done by a very dedicated group of drivers. Rain, snow, frigid temperatures, sleet, or hail; the milk gets picked up and delivered.
Co-op policy and guidance is determined by a nine member Board of Directors.
