Farmers are at the heart of all we do.
As a co-op founded by a collection of farmers, we’ve always been committed to the future of farming, and we continue the hard work to keep farms thriving for generations to come.
OurFarmers
We were foundedby farmers
Today, farmers face challenges: economic uncertainty, loss of farmland and constant change, to name a few. While farming is a challenging industry, we are committed to providing support and resources farmers need to not only survive, but thrive. As a farmer-owned co-op that has supported farmers for over 100 years, we know what farmers need to succeed.
Paying generous milk prices
Providing top-notch support
Sure, we get help financing equipment, but it’s the daily things like animal welfare support and technical advice from the Tillamook Farm Services Team that make the biggest difference.
We Are
All For Farmers
To help farmers facing financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, we donated $1.6 million to American Farmland Trust in 2020 in support of their Brighter Future Fund. Five years later, together with other grant programs at AFT, the Brighter Future Fund has awarded more than $9 million in total dollars – including over $5 million in grants – to over 2,000 farmers across all 50 states and U.S. territories.
Supporting agricultural advocacy
Working with youth agricultural nonprofits like 4-H and Future Farmers of America, protecting farmland through Oregon Agricultural Trust, and supporting urban gardening programs are ways we connect people with food and advocate for agriculture.
Shaping the next generation
We provide education, tools, resources and leadership development to up-and-coming dairy farmers as part of our Young Cooperators program, which helps develop the next generation of farmers.
