    Next Generation Organic Dairy

    August 30, 2009
    At the dawn of the new millennium, three small organic dairy farmers from west central Wisconsin pooled their milk together to bring quality organic dairy products from their farms to the consumer and food processor.



    At the dawn of the new millennium, three small organic dairy farmers from west central Wisconsin pooled their milk together to bring quality organic dairy products from their farms to the consumer and food processor. This group organized as Organic Family LLC, which now does business as Next Generation Organic Dairy, Mondovi, Wis.

    “People already love our cheeses because they taste so good, use only certified-organic raw milk and preserve all the wonderful enzymes that are normally destroyed by other manufacturing processes, but we always ask ourselves how we can make our product even better,” says Steve Pechacek, president.

    The company’s way of getting better is the recently introduced line of gourmet, probiotic cheeses in six varieties: Caribbean Cheddar, Cheddar, Cilantro Roasted Garlic Cheddar, Colby, Garlic Parsley Cheddar and Parsley Cheddar.
