Better Together

Milking cows is tough work. That’s why Arizona dairy farmers created UDA.

The dairy industry’s success isn’t built on one dairy or one brand, it’s built on the community as a whole.

That’s why UDA’s community is so important. When you join the co-op, you’re not just joining a business, you’re joining a family. And when you’re part of a family, you recognize that you’re better together rather than apart.

The relationships forged within UDA are what make it special and what keep it moving forward into the future.

Sustainability

Commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and continuous improvement.

UDA is excited to continue driving progress in this critical area in the coming years. But our definition of sustainability doesn’t only focus on our environmental impacts.

We also focus on other key priority areas that help us thrive: workforce development, community contributions, food safety and quality, and responsible animal care.

“UDA’s biggest challenge is in the months ahead. It is the challenge of preventing the ‘seek a status quo’ disease from setting into our organization.”

UDA’s Inaugural General Manager

Animal Care

Customers want to know that animals are cared for.

Dairy farmers care about their animals. Most dairy farmers grew up on a dairy, and absorb a sense of love and responsibility for their animals from a very young age.

UDA farmers are also very clear that customers want to purchase food from sources they know will take care of animals, and they operate in a way that is consistent with their values and expectations.

Certification

Dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality milk and dairy products.

To ensure our products meet the highest standards, we participate in the Safe Quality Food Institute’s (SQF) certification program.

The mission of the SQF program is: To deliver consistent, globally recognized food safety and quality certification programs based on sound scientific principles, consistently applied across all industry sectors and valued by all stakeholders.
