Organic Production Opportunities

These are production opportunities to become involved in, find products, and enhance your involvement in organic production.

  Organic Valley Grower Pool
  • Organic Valley offers regional pools for farmers which ensure minimum floor prices for a three years contract with the option to renew. 
  • Farmers can set the acreage commitments and find feed stuffs for their animals through these pools. 
  • Provides producers with available resources for organic crops such as the need for transportation and marketing, while setting regional pay structures for their members. 
  • Remaining products are sold on the open market which gives annual profit shares to growers.
  • For more information, review the brochure or contact Lowell Rheinheimer at Organic Valley.
