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

We were honored to welcome Senator Tammy Baldwin to our Cashton campus. She engaged with our cooperative to discuss pressing needs and promising opportunities within the organic dairy industry and the upcoming farm bill. Organic Valley is united with over 200 other leaders in advocating for the critical infrastructure needed to support organic and dairy farmers. We’re grateful for Senator Baldwin’s commitment to listening to and learning from those at the heart of food and organic farming. We are always happy to host her and her team. Thank you to Senator Baldwin for embracing our cooperative and our focus on creating a stable future for small organic family farms. Together, we’re sowing the seeds for a healthier tomorrow. 🌾 #OrganicFarming #OrganicFood #farmbill

Last night, my Hero and father, George Siemon, won a Lifetime Achievement Award for his leadership in pioneering the Organic Industry. 🎥 HIS STORY is one of dedication, ideals, and circumstances all intersecting. 🎨 HIS ART is the art of bringing together others and helping them find their common ground, really their common-unity. ❤️ HIS HEART was always one of service, honesty, and empathy. 🧠 HIS IQ is high, but not as high as his common sense, his curiosity, and his compassion. 🏆 HIS ACOMPLIASHMENTS are too many to list, but he did them all while milking cows, running a farm, and devoting time, energy, and intentionality to his family. You can learn more about his legacy in this Organic Valley article about him: https://lnkd.in/dfc-QPKG Thanks, Organic Trade Association, for recognizing him!

What kind of person does it take to ignite a movement? Well, a barefoot back-to-the-lander started the organic food movement. George Siemon co-founded Organic Valley, was instrumental in establishing some of the first organic standards in the U.S., and united farmers across the country. The Organic Trade Association will recognize his lifetime of work this week at Organic Week! The Organic Valley founding father and its first C-E-I-E-I-O shared his story fresh from his backyard. #founder #organic #farming #thoughtleader Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gHrQa4Ze

Congratulations to our founding farmer and first CEO, George Siemon, who will be honored with the Organic Lifetime Achievement Award by the Organic Trade Association, recognizing his 30 years of dedicated leadership. This city kid turned Wisconsin homesteader and played an instrumental role in developing the first USDA standards for organic certification. He has contributed countless hours supporting organic legislation, research and education at the local, state and national levels. Without his guidance, our cooperative would look nothing like it does today. Siemon once wrote, “We view organic as a philosophy that governs all aspects of our business."
We are thrilled to recognize six individuals for their outstanding leadership, vision and commitment in advancing the organic movement and making a positive difference on their farms, in their communities, in our climate and environment, and in the lives and diets of millions of people throughout the world.
