Who we are

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative is a verification cooperative led by dairy farmers working together to build a powerful voice in Congress, in their communities and with customers.

Established in 2010, Edge continues to lead on innovative federal dairy policy critical to farmers’ success.

We support dairy farmers in two important ways: 

We bring a strong dairy farmer voice to Washington, D.C., to champion sound and reasonable policy for the dairy community, and we fulfill the requirements of the Federal Milk Marketing Order for farmers who sell their milk directly to a processor.

What we do

Milk needs a voice – with customers, in the community and on policy.

That voice of milk is the promise of Edge.

• We are a multi-state verification cooperative lobbying on its members’ behalf in D.C.

• The only cooperative working collaboratively throughout the supply chain with a focus on strengthening connections between farmers and the processors handling our members’ milk.

• The only verification cooperative leading the way in on-farm sustainability efforts.

• We rank as one of the largest cooperatives, based on milk volume in the country.

Our core values

We are united through:
