About This Organization

The Northeast Organic Dairy Producers Alliance (NODPA) is the largest grassroots organization of organic dairy producers in the US and has remained true to its original goal of advocating on behalf of producers for a sustainable pay price, regardless of who purchases their milk. It also works to protect the integrity of the USDA Organic regulations. NODPA is governed by organic dairy producers who meet regularly by conference call and annually in-person as either Board members or State Representatives. The organization is establishing open dialogue with organic dairy processors and retailers in order to better influence producer pay price and to contribute to marketing efforts. They are also developing networks with producers and processors of other organic commodities to strengthen the infrastructure within the industry. In addition, NODPA fosters education within the organic milk industry by publishing the NODPA News, a 40-page print newsletter six times per year, a monthly e-newsletter, hosts Odairy, an active listserv, and maintains the website www.nodpa.com. In addition, NODPA organizes the Annual NODPA Field Days, a 2-day educational conference held in a different location each year, throughout the Northeast.NODPA is the largest grass roots organization of organic dairy producers and has remained true to its original goal of advocating on behalf of producers, regardless of who they sold their milk to, for a sustainable pay price plus protect the integrity of the USDA Organic regulations.
