About Us
Darigold is the marketing and processing subsidiary of the Northwest Dairy Association, a farmer-owned and led cooperative founded in 1918 by a small group of Washington farmers. Today we are owned by about 300 family-owned dairy farms who are scattered across Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. A lot has changed since the early days, but we still process farm fresh milk into products with unsurpassed quality, freshness and flavor.
