Organic Valley Live National Farmers Day Livestream - Replay

To celebrate National Farmers Day on October 9th, we brought a firsthand farm experience to viewers live from our small organic family farms, coast to coast, all day long.

What is National Farmers Day?

It’s a day to celebrate all the hard-working farmers out there who put food on our tables. At Organic Valley, it’s also a time to thank our farmers for all they do to protect where our food comes from through sustainable, organic farming practices. It’s certainly not the easiest way to farm, but we think it’s the best way for people, animals and the planet. Here’s to you, farmers!

"This is a co-op that really, really cares about their mission, their farmers and what we're doing for the planet and what we're doing about protecting your food."

"There's comfort knowing my cows are there and there's the spontaneity of never knowing what's next. I get to be out here with my family, my cows, and I love trying to make the world a better place."

Casey Knapp

"I love working with animals, I love being outside and all the challenges you solve every day, but giving people a healthy product, giving animals a good life and just making the environment better, it’s the most honest thing you can do and it’s really rewarding."

“Because you make your living from the earth, you are grounded into your farm,” Maynard Mallonee, Organic Valley farmer from Washington says, adding family farmers protect and preserve the ecosystem. “We take care of our animals, we take care of our soil—better pasture means cows eat a better diet, which means better products for our consumers"

Growing Future Farmers

We've partnered with iHeart Radio to donate $50,000 to the Rodale Institute to train the next generation of organic farmers!
