East Canada Dairy Farmers Are Switching To Organic

June 6, 2010: 08:02 PM EST
Although some big obstacles stand in the way of east coast Canada family dairy farmers looking to switch to organic production, a growing demand for organic products and a need to develop new revenue sources are pushing them to move forward. It’s an expensive and lengthy start-up process, because land, crops and cattle all have to be certified to ensure that no pesticides or commercial fertilizer were used to grow feed. And a really tricky obstacle is finding a processor who can handle organic milk. But the organic premium that can be charged means that a marginal dairy farm can become a more viable family farm. With that goal in mind, a half dozen dairy farmers in Nova Scotia have formed an organic milk cooperative whose mission is to get organic milk to the market by Christmas.
