This is dairy, the Canadian way
Responsible, nutritious, and Canadian through and through.
Great people make it work
We’re a farmer-funded and farmer-run organization (not a government body), and we represent the interests of the hard-working men and women on almost 10,000 Canadian dairy farms, day in and day out. Indirectly, we also stand with the over 195,000 extended members of the dairy farmer community and workforce from coast to coast.
Who are we? We are dairy farmers. We’re also the dedicated and passionate employees of Dairy Farmers of Canada – policy experts, administrators, health professionals, marketers, researchers, and many more. Most importantly, we are you – because quality, nutritious Canadian dairy is a valuable legacy for all Canadians.
For the second consecutive year, Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) has been honoured as one of the Top Employers in Canada’s National Capital Region. This prestigious recognition, jointly announced by the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers and Mediacorp Inc., acknowledges organizations in the Ottawa metropolitan area that stand out as industry leaders, providing exceptional places to work. The highly competitive designation shines a light on DFC’s commitment to supporting the organization’s employees and attracting new top talent.
In today’s competitive environment, being named as top employer is important not only to retain but also acquire top talent. Our culture is founded on Lencioni’s three attributes: hungry, humble, and smart, and we are proud to advocate for Canada’s dairy farmers every day,” said Jacques Lefebvre, CEO of Dairy Farmers of Canada. “It is our privilege to support our employees with initiatives and programs that inspire them to contribute to our important work in the dairy sector.”

The many reasons to be proud of Canadian dairy
Our commitment to quality goes far beyond the nutritious and delicious milk inside every carton. It extends to everything we do and how we do it. From humane treatment of our animals, to a respect for our environment and steadfast adherence to strict safety policies – no corners cut, no detail too small.

Look for the logo, choose Canadian dairy
Selecting dairy products that carry the Dairy Farmers of Canada Quality Milk logo is your way to guarantee that you’re consuming products with 100% Canadian milk or milk ingredients, made in the most responsible way. It’s also a show of support for Canadian farmers and their communities – our communities, our values. We don’t accept anything less than the best and you shouldn’t either.
