Organic Valley x SunCommon
Working with the sun towards sustainable futures
Organic Valley is a national farmer-owned cooperative of dairy farmers that takes pride in doing things a little differently. Back in 1988, when so many in the agricultural industry were adopting the “get big or get out” ethos, a bunch of like-minded farmers banded together to create a cooperative focused on high quality, organic products with sustainability in mind.
Over thirty years later, Organic Valley is still looking for ways to help farmers, create nutritious food, and do right by the planet. Recently, they’ve been trying to support more of their dairy farmers in going solar, and we were more than happy to step in and help.
Meet the Choiniere Family
The Choiniere family was one of the first co-op members to jump at the opportunity to switch to clean energy and save money with this new program.
An Opportunity for a Brighter Future
Together, we’ve developed an innovative program for Organic Valley co-op members to go solar at no upfront cost, while saving them money on their electric bills and taking on zero debt.
“It Just Makes Sense”
Farmers tell us time and time again that solar power just makes sense. The sun fuels all life on earth, so why not your electric power too?
