About the owner: Dairy Farmers of America
Dairy Farmers of America is a cooperative headquartered in United States. Brandtree records 17 brands under its control.
Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) is a farmer-owned dairy cooperative in the United States. Its own site describes it as a leading global dairy cooperative that moves milk from farm to table and manufactures butter, ice cream, sour cream and other dairy products, with a brands page listing the regional and national dairy brands it sells. Several of the names it lists (Borden, Friendly's, Dean's) are older heritage names, so a reader should not assume DFA is the same company as any earlier owner of them; the brands page is the only source used and does not state how or when DFA took each brand.
