Incubating Food Entrepreneurs www.lacocinasf.org
In 1921, 320 dairy farmers met in St. Paul, Minnesota, to form the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. Their idea was simple—join together to effectively market and distribute members dairy production across the country. From there, we quickly set our sights on growth. Just eight years after establishing our butter marketing organization, we expanded into the ag services and feed businesses. Our international journey kicked off 52 years later, as we began relaying the lessons we had learned to support local agriculture in developing nations around the world. Those efforts have also helped us expand our commercial business beyond the borders of the United States. Today, our four businesses give us a farm-to-fork view of agriculture. Pair this with our farmer ownership and we are uniquely qualified to fulfill our purpose of feeding human progress around the world, while always delivering on our responsibility to member-owners through our core values. We are united in a common cause, committed to excellence and inspired by our place in the world—but there are no shortcuts. We have never lost sight of the value of a hard days work.
There are pharmaceuticals that have greater value than any price that can be put on them. Products that change lives. We believe the best way to protect pharma is with an active cold chain. It starts with pharma-protective technology solutions to prevent pharma products from being compromised. But it also extends beyond technology. It means people with an active mindset. When people understand not just what we do, but why it matters, we believe they take more care. That`s why, as well as sharing pharma expertise with our cold chain partners, we also work together with our pharma customers to help ensure that their temperature-sensitive medicines arrive safely to the patient.
