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. Beginning in October 2002, these producers shipped their milk
directly to processors through the Ontario Dairy Goat Co-operative Inc.
(ODGC).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.
ODGC is a co-operative, meaning that it 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 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. |
