United States · Farmer-owned cooperative of family dairy farms
Dairy Farmers of America, commonly known as DFA, is a farmer-owned dairy cooperative in the United States made up of family dairy farms. Farmer ownership sits at the centre of its organisation: the farms that produce the milk also own the business that processes and sells it. DFA connects milk production on those farms with processing plants and with consumer dairy brands such as DairyPure, Kemps, Borden Cheese, TruMoo and Garelick Farms.
For member farms, DFA provides a home for their milk and a route into processing and branded products. For food businesses, it supplies cheese, butter, flavour ingredients and packaging solutions as well as finished milk and dairy products. Milk supply and commercial buying are handled as separate relationships, so a farm looking for a milk market and a manufacturer looking for ingredients or packaging deal with different parts of the cooperative.
Size of the business
DFA connects family farms with processing operations and a portfolio of dairy brands, with a business spanning milk supply, finished products, ingredients and packaging.
What does the company offer?
DFA offers milk and dairy products, cheese and butter, flavour ingredients and packaging solutions, with brands such as DairyPure, Kemps and TruMoo.
How should a buyer make contact?
DFA handles milk supply, ingredients, finished products and packaging through separate teams, and its website lists the contacts for each. Enquiries are easiest to handle when they state the intended application, project scale and required timing.
