This federal Project Grant award, funded by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service's Organic Market Development Grant (OMDG) Program (CFDA 10.188), provides $867,715 to North Sky Farm LLC to increase the processing capacity of their farmstead creamery. The project aims to create a milk market for other organic dairy producers by expanding the creamery's cheese production capabilities, allowing them to purchase milk from an additional farm and meet the requirements of a wholesale distributor. This will enable North Sky Farm to sell their organic cheese products to a broader customer base through mainstream grocery retail locations, benefiting their own farm as well as their organic grain supplier and the wholesale distributor. Key project activities include upgrading equipment and facilities, expanding personnel, and working with a consultant to facilitate the distribution of their increased cheese production volume.
