Celebrating the 2026 Quality Award WinnersS
At the 2026 AGM in January, Dairy Farmers of Ontario's (DFO) Board recognized outstanding producers for their commitment to consistently produce high-quality milk and who demonstrate industry leadership.
Five Ontario dairy farms with the best quality scores were recognized for their outstanding commitment to quality. In this issue, we are recognizing our Quality Award winners, who all received Gold Quality Certificates for milk shipped in 2024.

Managing milk supply and filling markets
Like other dairy producing countries and markets, Canada is projecting continued strong growth in high-protein markets, while adjusting to a slightly lower forecast butterfat market as the previously observed sharp rise in Canadian population growth stabilizes.
Securing the milk supply chain
All components of the dairy supply chain must work together to ensure consumers can enjoy safe, nutritious dairy products that they expect each day. While producers and processors are key and well-known players in the supply chain, the Bulk Tank Milk Grader (BTMG) plays an equally important role.
Behind every glass of milk
Every day, Ontario dairy farmers deliver high-quality milk produced with care, passion and dedication on local, family run farms across the province, and through Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s (DFO) farmer equity marketing initiatives, this story is shared with Ontarians where they live, shop, connect and engage.
