About

The Bongards Cooperative is made up of hundreds of family-owned farms. Many are run by farmers carrying on a legacy that reaches back countless generations. They believe in shared success and look at business from a sustainable, long-range view. The Cooperative’s vertically integrated supply chain allows them to control the integrity of the milk supply that goes into their cheese—to ensure they always deliver a high-quality product. All Bongards member farms adhere to the rigorous guidelines of the Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Program, ensuring the safety of their products and ethical treatment of their animals. Each farm receives visits from Bongards field service staff, independent auditors, and state inspectors.
