“The farmer cooperative behind the Organic Valley label put on some weight Monday when it announced a deal to manufacture and sell Stonyfield Farms milk, the Londonderry, N.H., company that sells about 13 million gallons annually.
The deal could expand the 1,133-member CROPP cooperative, based about four hours from the Twin Cities in western Wisconsin, by as much as 270 farmers as it adds new markets to Organic Valley’s reach — including New York City — said Louise Hemstead, CROPP’s chief operating officer.
“It really plays to our strengths,” she said.”
