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 processers 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.

and promotion of the dairy goat industry in Ontario.
Our Sub-Goals

geographical areas of their producers, to obtain the best possible price for the
transportation of their goat milk.

- To achieve a good working relationship with the government, and be actively
involved in the making of new legislation for our sector in agriculture.
