More and more creameries across the country are committing to environmentally-friendly practices. While the dairy industry hasn’t always been known for going green, this new trend is a perfect example of how innovative and forward-thinking the cheese industry is. Check out how the Organic Vallet Co-Op<\/a> and the Farm at Doe Run<\/a> are working to protect our environment one cheese at a time. <\/p>\n

Solar-Powered Cheese<\/h2>\n

Organic Valley<\/a>, producers of cheese, butter, and other dairy products, announced a landmark step toward becoming carbon neutral: In a collaboration with the Upper Midwest Municipal Energy Group, the nation\u2019s largest farmer-owned cooperative will install over 12 megawatts of solar arrays in Wisconsin<\/a>. The electricity created is expected to cover 100 percent of Organic Valley\u2019s electric energy needs by 2019. It\u2019s a win for the region as well: These solar installations are expected to increase overall solar energy use in Wisconsin by 15 percent.<\/p>\n

Good Cheese, Clean Water<\/h2>\n

The award-winning Farm at Doe Run<\/a>\u2014who most recently took the top prizes at the 2018 Pennsylvania Farm Show\u2014is making an environmental statement with its newest cheese: Buy Camembert-style Mayfly, and the sustainability-focused farm will donate 10 percent of proceeds to the Stroud Water Research Center, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving fresh water.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first partnership between the farm and the Stroud: The center has guided watershed restoration work with the farm, located along Sharitz Run, a tributary of the Brandywine Creek that\u2019s currently considered impaired by Pennsylvania\u2019s environmental protection standards. Wondering about the cheese\u2019s buzzy name? For scientists at the Stroud, mayflies\u2014often found above a healthy stream\u2014are a sign that clean water still exists.<\/p>\n
