Premium Dairy Products Since 1921
Land O'Lakes has been a leader in the dairy and agricultural industry since its founding in 1921. Originally established by 320 Minnesota dairy farmers united by a shared belief in collaboration, we have grown into one of the largest cooperatives in America, operating in all 50 states and over 60 countries. Our farmer-owners remain at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every product reflects their dedication to quality, sustainability, and community. Through generations of experience, we have perfected the creation of dairy essentials such as butter, cheese, margarine, and plant-based alternatives, while also offering trusted eggs, whipping cream, and innovative food solutions.Our commitment to preserving the land and supporting local communities is evident in every step of our process, from farm to table. With over 9,000 dedicated employees and a network of ag retailers, we continue to lead with cooperative values, delivering exceptional products that meet the evolving needs of consumers and businesses alike.
