About
We are Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), a national milk marketing cooperative in the United States, proudly owned by and dedicated to our family of farmers. Since our formation in 1998 through the merger of four dairy cooperatives, our mission has been to bring the wholesome goodness of dairy from our farms to your table. We are a community working together to support one another, nurture the land we farm, enrich our local communities, and ensure that the legacy of family farming continues for generations to come. Our cooperative is more than just a business; it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of our farmer-owners who are the heart and soul of everything we do. They are the ones running the farms, caring for the cows, and ensuring a steady flow of high-quality milk, a tradition they have upheld for generations. As a leading global dairy cooperative, we handle everything from moving our members' milk from the farm to processing it into a wide variety of dairy products that families across the globe enjoy. Our operations are extensive, manufacturing nearly every form, function, and flavor of high-quality nutritional dairy products, including fluid milk, cheese, butter, ice cream, and specialized dairy ingredients. We are not just about producing delicious dairy; we are also deeply committed to our values. We advocate for our farmer-owners' legislative interests, provide them with essential support services, and constantly innovate to meet the evolving tastes and nutritional needs of consumers. We are passionate about sustainability, implementing responsible farming practices that care for our animals and the planet. We believe in the power of community and are dedicated to giving back and nourishing the communities we serve. At our core, we are a family, united by a shared passion for dairy and a commitment to preserving the future of family farms.
