Meet Our Community

In sharing narratives, we build towards a future of economic growth – together, as a community and as citizens.

 

Our Homegrown series represents our farmers’ tales of provenance, caring, commitment and discipline.

 

Each of our videos introduces a local farmer telling his or her story. Through these visual narratives, we get to know our resilient dairy producers, their farms, their animals, their communities and their businesses.

 

We will keep telling our story and sharing our passion. It is our wish to share with consumers of dairy what we do, so that they can see how much we care.
