Rooted In Tomorrow
From Farmer to Fork: The family farmers who make your butter and how the cooperative gets it to your dinner table.
Behind every glass of milk and holiday cheese plate is the work of 1,711 dairy family farmers who form the backbone of Land O’Lakes, Inc., a farmer-owned cooperative spanning nearly 100 years. From the Midwest and Great Plains to local communities across the U.S. and neighboring states, these families bring food from farm to table, shaping the iconic products found on grocery store shelves.
In this festive episode of Rooted In Tomorrow, host Kim Olson traces the journey of holiday favorites like butter and milk, exploring how Land O’Lakes works with its cooperative members to transform raw farm ingredients into beloved products. Guests include Heather Anfang, Senior Vice President of U.S. Dairy Foods, and Lauren Evangelo, Land O’Lakes farmer-owner, as they share stories from the farm, insights on the cooperative model, and the impact of family farming on local and regional food systems.
