Caring for our natural resources
Northwest Dairy Association producers and Darigold employees are committed to taking care of our natural resources — not only because it's the right thing to do, but also to continue the legacy of multigenerational family farms.
As part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, we have pledged to reach climate neutrality by 2050. See the video below for one of the strategies that will help us get there.
