Land O’Lakes, Inc. is a 100-year-old farmer owned cooperative originally formed with the purpose of working together to create new market opportunities for dairy producers. Our journey began in 1921, when 320 dairy farmers met in St. Paul, Minnesota, to form the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. Their idea was simple: join together to effectively market and distribute members’ dairy production across the country.
Today, our four businesses give us a farmer-to-fork view of agriculture. Paired with our co-op ownership model, we’re uniquely qualified to fulfill our purpose of feeding human progress.
