Last week, we officially cut the ribbon at Maola Philadelphia! This ribbon cutting represents the hard work of our members every single day. They own our company, and thus, own this facility. They contribute to the economies of the states in which we operate. Most of all, they provide nourishing products to their communities. This plant will help continue that long legacy and we're proud of our member-owners for their initiative and their innovation in the dairy industry. #MDVAMIlk #PAagriculture #dairy #maolamilk

Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Commissioner Joe Guthrie and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 Administrator Adam Ortiz joined us at Cool Lawn Farm in Virginia last week to learn about sustainability initiatives in place. The farm family has implemented a riparian buffer and deployed cover cropping and manure injection practices to improve the farm's carbon footprint. Ben and Ken Smith have planted a 3.2-acre riparian buffer on the property, enrolled thousands of acres in cover cropping and manure injection practices to sequester carbon in the soil and improve the farm’s carbon footprint. Cool Lawn Farm has taken full advantage of MDVA's industry-leading sustainability program and worked alongside the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to implement smart and impactful practices that lead to a lowered environmental impact. Thank you to Commissioner Guthrie and Administrator Ortiz for spending time with us to learn how our member-owners are making an important impact on local communities and improving the environment for years to come.
