Sales and Distribution Locations
Organic Valley is primarily run and owned by the farmers that sustain it. The company's income returns largely to the farmers and community in which the crops are grown, which is a contributing factor to the steady prices that Organic Valley attempts to maintain. As of 2013, the cooperative employs roughly 400 at their La Farge headquarters.
Products displaying the Organic Valley logo and USDA Certified organic stamp can be found in all 50 states, Canada, and Japan. The United States is divided into three selling markets: The Western, Central, and Eastern Divisions. Each division is managed by sales staff, producers, and distributors directly associated with the cooperative. Organic Valley has a regional vision and they produce six regional milks that are produced, processed and distributed in New England, Northeast, Heartland, Rocky Mountain, California and the Pacific Northwest. Total sales in 2003 reached $156 million to $715 million in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the words sales and/or distribution:
“There are no galley-slaves in the royal vessel of divine love—every man works his oar voluntarily!”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
