In the summer of 2002 a group of goat milk producers in Ontario expressed a desire to take the marketing and transportation of their
milk into their own hands. As of October 2002 these producers ship their milk directly to processors through the Ontario Dairy Goat
Co-operative Inc.The main goal of the Ontario Dairy Goat Co-operative is to market and ship its members' milk, meeting the co-op's high quality
standards for the best achievable price at that time.
The co-op is an organization that is producer owned and operated. This creates a transparent organization, which allows members
to be actively involved in the marketing of their milk and to be fully aware of what is happening with their business and their money.
The Ontario Dairy Goat Co-operative wants to play a role in the further development and promotion of the dairy goat industry in Ontario.
Our Sub-Goals
- To work together with milk transportation companies and co-operatives, in the
geographical areas of their producers, to obtain the best possible price for the
transportation of their goat milk.
- To build strong relationships with processors.
- To achieve a good working relationship with the government, and be actively
involved in the making of new legislation for our sector in agriculture.
- To have a good relationship with other producer groups and dairy goat
organizations in Ontario and elsewhere.
